Sakura 'Tahara' Round Japanese Fan

Sakura Round Japanese Fan 'Tahara' — Cherry Blossom Uchiwa

Cherry blossoms (sakura) and round Japanese fans have appeared together throughout the country's visual history. Ukiyo-e masters depicted hanami scenes where women carried sakura-printed uchiwa; Edo-period paintings showed tea houses decorated with both cherry branches and fan displays; modern Japanese design continues the tradition with countless variations on the sakura-uchiwa pairing.

The name Tahara refers to a coastal city in Aichi prefecture famous for its flower farms and agricultural traditions. The area's deep connection to seasonal botanical cycles makes it a fitting namesake for a sakura-themed fan — a piece that celebrates one of Japan's most beloved seasonal transitions.

Built with a bamboo wood structure and handcrafted construction, the Tahara measures 13x24cm — the classic uchiwa proportions. The sakura design reads clearly across the fan's flat surface, while the bamboo handle delivers the traditional grip and feel expected of quality Japanese flat fan craft.

The Tahara works beautifully for hanami outings, spring weddings, traditional photography, or as a seasonal everyday accessory. It also serves as a poetic decorative piece when displayed in Japanese-inspired interiors. A meaningful gift for anyone drawn to sakura tradition or Japanese seasonal aesthetics.
