Kyoto Folding Fan, Medaka (Japanese Rice Fish), Kyoto Fan, Men's, Made in Japan, Kimono Accessory, A

A masterpiece featuring gracefully swimming medaka (Japanese rice fish) that evokes the gentle murmur of a river. The front of the fan leaf is white, with a design that captures the rippling water, shimmering elegantly at different angles to depict the medaka swimming in a cool, refreshing scene. The back of the fan leaf is a simple, plain white, making it easy to use.

Folding fans are considered auspicious because they "widen at the end" (suehirogari). The shape, which spreads out toward the edge, symbolizes gradual prosperity and good fortune. They are cherished as gifts for celebrations and tokens of appreciation. They are particularly popular as presents for birthdays, 60th (Kanreki), 70th (Koki), 77th (Kiju), and 88th (Beiju) birthday celebrations, as well as retirement gifts.
