High Grade Decorative Kyoto Folding Fan Wind God and Thunder God with Stand

高級飾り京扇子　宗達風神図/台付

This folding fan features a dynamic depiction of Fūjin, the God of Wind, based on the celebrated work of Tawaraya Sōtatsu, one of Japan’s most renowned artists of the early Edo period. Painted on a radiant gold background, the bold figure of Fūjin with his swirling bag of winds is captured in vibrant green and earth tones, symbolizing the invisible yet powerful force of nature. The shimmering gold surface reflects light beautifully, enhancing the dramatic contrast and evoking the grandeur of classic Japanese screens and scrolls. Crafted with traditional fan-making techniques, the sturdy black ribs and fine paper ensure both durability and elegance. More than a practical accessory, this fan serves as a piece of art, perfect for display on the included stand or as a distinguished gift. It embodies Japan’s rich cultural heritage, bringing together timeless craftsmanship and one of its most iconic artistic motifs.
