Fan: Winds of Fortune

Description: This graceful women’s komon kimono is crafted from soft rinzu (figured satin) polyester, featuring an elegant motif of colorful sensu (folding fans) flowing across a pearl-colored base. Interwoven with stylised, curved blades of grass, the design evokes a sense of gentle movement and seasonal beauty. A warm orange lining peeks subtly from within, providing a rich, inviting contrast to the soft pearl outer tone — a hidden detail that brings warmth and harmony to the piece.

The sensu motif is rich in symbolism, traditionally representing prosperity, growth, and the spreading of good fortune — as a fan opens outward, so too does one's future and potential. The subtle shimmer of the rinzu weave adds depth and texture to the overall composition, enhancing the kimono’s vibrant yet balanced aesthetic.

The white shitsuke stitching around the edges, traditionally used to preserve the garment during storage, remains intact. These temporary stitches can be easily removed before wear, ensuring the edges lie flat and smooth.

Fabric: Lightweight rinzu polyester — durable, easy to care for, and ideal for frequent wear.

Condition: Good — gently worn with no major flaws; well-maintained.

Style: Perfect for casual to semi-formal occasions, this kimono blends symbolic beauty with practical comfort. A versatile piece for those who appreciate both visual charm and cultural meaning.
