Japanese Folding Fan – Nishikigoi Carp | Sensu incense holder The leaf design is bothThe nishikigoi the ornamental koi carp is one of Japans most enduring symbols of perseverance, good fortune, and vitality. Here, its vivid form is captured on a traditional Japanese folding fan (sensu), rendered with the bold confidence of classical Japanese decorative art. Koi have been cultivated in Japan for over a thousand years, prized as much for their beauty as their symbolism. To carry this fan is to carry something of that long tradition.
