Sashiko-Stitched Indigo Folding Fan

Traditional sashiko-inspired stitching meets modern Japanese fan craftsmanship.

Created by the artisans at Nishikawashouroku Shoten, this folding fan features indigo cotton fabric embroidered with a subtle sashiko-style pattern. The stitching creates gentle depth and shadow, adding quiet dimension without overwhelming the design. The result is a balanced, understated piece that feels both classic and contemporary.

The natural bamboo ribs are cut with precision to maintain a clean silhouette when opened, while the indigo textile offers the soft visual warmth that sashiko patterns are known for. Like denim, this indigo fabric will gradually soften through use, taking on character unique to the owner.

Thoughtfully crafted and easy to carry, this fan brings together Japanese textile tradition and everyday utility.
