At LAKOLE, we celebrate the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship with our Folding Fan collection from our series of Mino ware tableware. Each piece is crafted with a traditional pattern inspired by the delicate crimps of a classic paper fan. This elegant design not only enhances your dining experience but also pays homage to a rich cultural heritage.
The Historical Significance of Folding Fans in Japanese Culture
Folding fans, or "sensu," have been a significant part of Japanese culture for centuries. Originally imported from China during the Nara period (710-794), folding fans quickly became an essential accessory in Japanese society. They were used for various purposes, from practical tools for cooling and communication to symbols of status and artistic expression.
In traditional Japanese culture, folding fans were often used in court ceremonies, tea ceremonies, and classical dance performances. They were also a medium for artists to display their craft, with intricate designs and calligraphy adorning the fan surfaces. The folding fan’s elegant structure and the art it carried made it a revered object, embodying grace and sophistication.
The Folding Fan Collection: A Tribute to Tradition
Our Folding Fan collection captures the essence of this historical significance through its repetitive pattern. The design is inspired by the geometric crimps of a classic paper fan and finished with a modern twist.
The Timeless Beauty of Mino Ware
Mino ware, one of Japan's most renowned pottery styles, has a history that spans over 1,300 years. Known for its durability and beauty, Mino ware is crafted using high-quality clay and unique glazing techniques. The double-firing process ensures that each piece is not only stunning but also built to last. Our Folding Fan collection is a testament to this tradition, offering tableware that is both elegant and enduring.
