Sailor
Maki-e Floating Fans Fountain Pen |
||
 |
||
A symbol of culture in Japan, the fan is used for more than just creating a cooling breeze. Made from paper and bamboo, these fragile objects are nonetheless the "canvas" for intensive design. This motif has been used here in conjunction with water as part of a story. |
||
 |
||
The design represents the "Three Boats" ceremony, which takes place annually on the outskirts of Kyoto. The ceremony involves costumed Japanese ladies throwing fans into the stream and watching them float away, a scene that recalls the Emperor and his court on the Oi river during the Heian period (794-1185). It celebrates music, poetry and beautiful spectacle. |
