Specifications

Inspired by Takenaka Shigeharu (Hanbei)

Takenaka Shigeharu, also known as Takenaka Hanbei, was a famous military strategist during Japan's Sengoku period. He is remembered as an accomplished tactician and is closely associated with the history and legends of Japan's samurai era.

This tessen incorporates his name and samurai-era imagery into a traditional Japanese fan design, making it particularly appealing to collectors interested in Japanese history, samurai culture, and Sengoku-period figures.

Traditional Japanese Tessen Design

The tessen, or iron hand fan, is a distinctive Japanese fan style associated with samurai and martial arts culture. Reinforced with strong iron ribs, the tessen maintains the elegant appearance of a folding fan while providing a more substantial structure than an ordinary decorative fan.

The decorative surface features Japanese-inspired artwork designed to evoke the visual character of traditional Japan.

Japanese Cultural Display

With its compact 24.2 cm (9.5") size and traditional design, this Takenaka Shigeharu tessen makes an attractive addition to a Japanese-themed room, office, dojo, or historical collection.

It is an excellent choice for samurai enthusiasts, Japanese history collectors, martial arts practitioners, and anyone interested in traditional Japanese craftsmanship and Sengoku-period culture.
