The Japanese Rising Sun Design

The red sun is one of the most recognizable symbols associated with Japan. It appears prominently on the Japanese national flag, representing the sun and reflecting Japan's long-standing association with the rising sun.

The simple contrast of the red sun against a white background gives this tessen a clean and distinctive appearance while capturing a familiar element of Japanese visual culture.

Traditional Tessen Construction

A tessen is a Japanese folding fan featuring reinforced or iron components. Unlike ordinary folding fans, the iron ribs provide a stronger structure and contribute to the distinctive character of the fan.

This model combines high-quality iron ribs with a strong paper fan surface. The paper is decorated with the Rising Sun design, creating a balance between traditional Japanese aesthetics and durable construction.
