Ōgi / Sensu (扇)
The fan symbolises growth, prosperity and unfolding good fortune.
Its widening form, opening gracefully outward from a narrow base, represents expansion and a future filled with possibility, making the fan an enduring auspicious motif in Japanese design.
Associated with court culture, dance and ceremony, fans also evoke elegance, refinement and celebration.
Mid-Shōwa Period
The Shōwa era spanned 1926 to 1989, its name meaning 'enlightened peace' — a period of extraordinary contrast, from wartime turbulence to postwar renaissance. Many of our textiles date from the heart of this era.
