Utamaro Ukiyo-e Sensu Fan

Lightweight and compact, this folding fan pairs everyday function with the elegance of Japanese art. Designed to slip easily into a bag or sleeve, it offers a graceful way to keep cool while showcasing one of the most iconic images from the Edo period. Beyond its practical use, it also makes a beautiful keepsake—equally suited for display as a reminder of Japan’s artistic heritage.

The design features Young Woman Blowing a Poppin, one of Kitagawa Utamaro’s most celebrated bijinga prints. Depicting a woman in an ichimatsu-patterned kimono playing with a delicate glass popper, the composition captures the refined beauty and quiet sophistication of Edo-period ukiyo-e. Utamaro, active in the mid to late Edo period, was renowned for his expressive portraits of women, and this work is especially admired for its graceful lines, subtle expression, and elegant detail.

Carry a piece of Japanese art wherever you go. Whether used on warm days or displayed as a decorative keepsake, this fan brings timeless beauty and cultural charm to everyday moments.
