"Spring Fans" Japanique Tapestry

We create our Japanique Tapestries by upcycling what we can when other sections of the garment are beyond repair or rescue. This listing is for a wall hanging tapestry made from a vintage obi belt. Soft blush tones set the stage for a lively display of layered fans filled with bright, woven florals that seem to unfold across the surface. Folding fans in Japanese design often symbolize prosperity, growth, and spreading good fortune, as their shape opens outward, while the colorful florals represent seasonal beauty and renewal.  There are signs of age showing a few blemishes consistent with the textile's vintage origin, adding to its character and history, see last photo. It comes ready to hang with a sturdy cardboard rod (formerly the cardboard core of a kimono fabric bolt) and cording - both easily removable and replaceable to suit your space. We included another rod at the bottom for added weight but can be removed. Our Japanique Tapestries transform salvaged imagery from kimono, haori, or obi into striking displays that highlight the original artistry, including dye work, embroidery, hand painting, and woven patterns. These textiles preserve history while fitting beautifully into modern spaces. No two are alike, each one carries its own story, texture, and character.
