Round Pink Japanese Fan 'Kitanagoya

Round Pink Japanese Fan 'Kitanagoya' — Soft Pink Uchiwa Design

Pink (momoiro) in Japanese design tradition connects directly to cherry blossoms, peach flowers, and the soft tonal sensibility of classical kimono silks. Unlike the vivid pinks of Western design, Japanese pink tends toward subtler shades — the blush of dawn, the delicate color of plum blossoms, the refined pale pinks of traditional furisode kimono worn by young women.

The name Kitanagoya refers to a small city near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture. The regional context gives the pink fan cultural grounding — not a generic pink but one connected to specific Japanese aesthetic traditions. This regional specificity is part of what gives traditional Japanese craft objects their cultural depth.

Built with a bamboo wood frame and handcrafted construction, the fan measures 13x24cm — the classic compact uchiwa proportions. The soft pink coloring provides gentle visual warmth, while the bamboo handle delivers the traditional feel of quality Japanese flat fan craft.

The Kitanagoya works beautifully for spring events, wedding celebrations, feminine-leaning occasions, or as a gentle everyday summer accessory. It also serves as a charming decorative piece when displayed in Japanese-inspired interiors with softer color palettes. A thoughtful gift for anyone drawn to refined Japanese color tradition.
