Yuzen dying fan

The breeze of Kyoto with every wave—Traditional Kiku-Karakusa Pattern × Hand-Dyed Yuzen Paper by Kyoto Artisans

This elegant paper fan features the traditional Japanese motif “Kiku-Karakusa” (Chrysanthemum and Arabesque), crafted from refined Yuzen paper.
The Kiku-Karakusa pattern has long been considered auspicious, combining the chrysanthemum, Japan’s national flower, with the arabesque design, symbolizing longevity and prosperity, and is commonly used in kimono and obi fabrics.

The timeless beauty of this design is expressed through a calm and refined color palette, making it easy to integrate into modern lifestyles. The result is a graceful, dignified fan that fits seamlessly into both formal and everyday settings.

The Yuzen paper used is hand-dyed by Kyoto artisans using high-quality washi (Japanese paper) sourced from various regions of Japan, including Echizen.
It offers a unique texture, luster, and depth not found in mass-printed products.

Perfectly suited for yukata, kimono, or even Western-style outfits—this fan adds a subtle touch of Kyoto tradition to your fashion.
