round paper fan "Lake Gems or Koi Carp in a Lotus Pond" hand-painted

Hand-painted round "uchiwa" fan "Lake Jewels or Koi Carp in a Lotus Pond"

Let yourself be refreshed by summer Japan!

• On an ivory-colored fan, I painted orange and white koi carp swimming among lotuses in a pond
• koi carp bring good luck and are a symbol of love and friendship
• two carp symbolize yin and yang - harmony and balance
• lotuses are associated with Buddhism and symbolize purity and truth
• depictions of koi carp and lotuses are very popular motifs in Japanese painting

About round "uchiwa" fans:

• the fan is approximately 24 cm wide and 38 cm long (including the handle)
• the fan has a sturdy bamboo structure covered on both sides with paper
• I hand-painted the motif on the fan using acrylic paints and ink
  
• it is a traditional Japanese fan called "uchiwa"

About fan painting:

• I hand-paint on fans, so each product is original
• the resulting image may differ slightly from the photograph
• I paint with acrylic paints and ink
• I fixed the colors with a clear matte varnish for greater durability

About the Lake Jewels collection (or koi carp with the moon):

• the collection is inspired by colorful koi carp, which are the jewels of ponds, not only in Japanese gardens
• in this collection you will find porcelain, glass, textiles, jewelry, and small paper items
• I would be happy to put this motif on another mug or anything else for you
