Japanese Autumn

This beautiful Japanese wall fan features a scenic meadow alongside cool blue waters. Hand-painted in the land of smiles (Thailand) each of our Oriental wall fans is truly an original work of art. The large size of this fan spans five feet in length and nearly three feet in height making it ideal as a centerpiece over a couch bed or table. The smaller size will make a great addition to any bathroom or wall where there is limited space. Our Japanese Autumn fan is painted in the Thai style which is evident from the brushstrokes – unique to painters of Thailand. While autumn is a season that does not make itself known in Thailand the winter can cause foliage to turn a brownish color as is evident in this scene. The combination of greens browns and blues makes for a very earthy and homely feel. The water is an important element in Asian paintings and can be seen here in the waterfall and meadow. Water symbolizes life renewal and prosperity in the Asian culture. It is actually one of the five elements in Buddhism along with earth air fire and sky (sometimes called void). The colors of this spectacular fan flow into one another blending harmoniously to create a lovely scene from nature. The cranes painted in this wall fan are a common bird associated with Asian art. They are a majestic bird and held in high regard by both the Chinese and Japanese. Both believe the crane to be related to longevity and good luck as the crane was once believed to have lived for 1000 years. While not true the crane still receives a lot of accolade in works of Asian art. A comparable painting of this size could cost hundreds of dollars. For a fraction of that amount you can own a hand-painted work that will add life and color to any dull wall or scene. Make this colorful and attractive wall fan the centerpiece of any wall in your home or office. Order yours today!
