Okayama Selvedge Denim Folding Fan
A modern take on a classic Japanese fan, crafted from genuine selvedge denim.
Made by the artisans at Nishikawashouroku Shoten, this folding fan pairs traditional Japanese fan-making with sturdy selvedge denim fabric. The non-wash indigo denim has a deep, even tone, finished with a distinctive redline selvedge along the edge — a detail denim enthusiasts will recognize immediately.
Each fan is finished with wide, straight bamboo ribs that create a bold, structured silhouette. The contrast between the natural bamboo and the deep indigo fabric gives the piece a quiet strength, making it as functional as it is visually striking. Over time, the denim will soften and develop subtle character unique to how it’s used, just like your favorite pair of jeans.
This is a piece for those who appreciate heritage materials, tactile craft, and everyday objects made with intention.

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid moisture and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the color and shape.
Because a folding fan is opened and closed many times a day, opening it slowly with both hands at the first rib helps maintain its strength and extend its lifespan. Store it using the included elastic band or fan sleeve to protect it when not in use.
