Ushiwa Japanese hand fan

Uchiwa is the name given to this original hand fan in Japan. As the summer season is very humid and hot, these objects are an absolute must-have during the sweltering Japanese summer! They’re used not only to create draughts but also to ward off insects.

This hand fan is made of rice paper and has a colourful design featuring the famous Japanese ‘koi’ carp. It even comes with a nice matching envelope so you can use it as a greeting card!
