KAIGETSU Kanazawa Gold Japanese Fan

Main Features

This Kanazawa gold leaf fan is made by Hakuichi with attention to handcrafting the fan surface, bamboo ribs, and final assembly. The wave-like surface is boldly decorated with gold leaf, evoking the image of the moon reflected on the sea and gently moving with the waves. Gold leaf scattered around the design also suggests stars, creating a fantastical summer night scene.

Because each fan is handmade, the cracks and wrinkles in the leaf are never exactly the same. The design is also introduced as popular among international customers and men.

Design Appeal

The Kaigetsu design feels like a quiet summer night: the moon reflected on the sea, soft waves, and starlike gold leaf. It has a refined shine without feeling too flashy, making it easy to match with both Japanese and Western outfits.

Two-Way Design

The front and back of the fan have different designs, so it can be enjoyed in two ways depending on the occasion, mood, or outfit. It suits kimono and yukata as well as suits and everyday clothing.

Craftsmanship

The fan uses traditional leaf materials such as leaf, torn leaf, noge, kirihaku, and sunago, applying techniques from Japanese paper decoration and Japanese painting to the fan. Each step, including the fan surface, bamboo ribs, leaf decoration, and final assembly, is handled by specialized artisans.
