Over the years, while looking at Japanese art, I was struck\nby the fact that fans can be not only a support for artistic creation but also\na motif or subject for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since ancient times many civilisations\naround the world have put handheld fans to a variety of uses, from cooling\ndevices to ceremonial objects and from performance props to status symbols,\namong others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Asia, the fan most likely originated in China and spread from there to Japan. It is thought that the folding fan was invented in Japan, sometime around the 7th century. At first reserved for the emperor and then the court, fans became very fashionable and gradually came to be used by other classes of society. Fans, whatever their type, can of course be decorated on their surface; indeed, they grew to be an important media for painting. They could also be the support for calligraphy and poems. Fans feature in Noh theatre, counting among the few devices used onstage and employed for accentuating the expressiveness of the actors\u2019 gestures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tsumugu-blocks-modal-image wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/repinecranefan1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption> Noh fan with design of aged pine, cranes and tortoise on gold ground<br\/> Edo period, 18th century<br\/>Tokyo National Museum; ColBase (https:\/\/colbase.nich.go.jp\/)  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renowned Japanese artists composed works on fans, chief among them Tawaraya Sotatsu (c. 1570-1640) and Ogata Korin (1658-1716). Such creations were highly appreciated and often removed from their frames to be mounted on albums or paintings. With the development of woodblock printing in the Edo period, prints designed to be mounted on rigid fans became fashionable. In the same way, decorated fans were also greatly popular in the West and artists such as Ingres and Corot in the 19th century painted on fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All these fans are beautiful objects, but I\nam particularly charmed by the distinct fondness that Japanese artists have\nshown for the fan as a decorative motif. The ornamental effect of the fan, with\nits distinctive rounded shape and tapered extremity, can be admired on numerous\nworks of art. Placed against the gold background of folding screens, sequences\nof fans each animated by their own design, are very pleasing decorative\npatterns. Moreover, these scattered fan motifs can allow the artist to\nintegrate smaller, secondary themes within the general composition. In the work\nbelow by the school of Sotatsu, the fans feature landscapes or scenes from the\nTale of Genji and the Tale of Ise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tsumugu-blocks-modal-image wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/reA-12329_E0032029a.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption> Folding screen, Sotatsu school<br\/> Edo period, 17th century <br\/>Tokyo National Museum; ColBase (https:\/\/colbase.nich.go.jp\/)  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans can appear on textiles too. They were used as a decorative motif on kimono, the pattern of an open fan being perceived as auspicious. In countless designs, fans are scattered with other motifs, such as flowers, plants or stylised forms. The association of several shapes that are repeated and be can quite contrasting with each other on the garment surface is always very stylish, often quite audacious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are to be found on Noh costume as well, for example on a striking Edo period Noh robe decorated with motifs of poetry cards and fans among trailing wisteria (Museum of Fine Arts in Boston). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very attractive as well are fan-shaped ceramics, a type of dishes typical of the Oribe style of pottery which favours inventive shapes and patterns. Used for entertaining and therefore produced in sets, these enchantingly shaped ceramics appeared in the 17th century. Featuring the green glaze that typifies Oribe ware, they can be admired from a variety of angles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"790\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/9f0c59a31a68465d34f3ce9f94430422-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4990\"\/><figcaption> Set of fan-shaped dishes<br> Ceramics, Mino ware, Oribe type<br> Edo Period, 17th century<br> Tokyo National Museum; ColBase (https:\/\/colbase.nich.go.jp\/)  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"790\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/76515b444d5b7a85c2e14cd705f9ddce-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4991\"\/><figcaption> Set of fan-shaped food cups<br> Ceramics, Mino ware, Oribe type<br> Edo Period, 17th century<br> Tokyo National Museum; ColBase (https:\/\/colbase.nich.go.jp\/)  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) took the motif of the fan as a theme. A painting by his hand (top photo; Tokyo National Museum) shows an array of fans rhythmically arranged. Opened at various angles and featuring an assortment of decorative patterns delicately rendered, they make for an attractive still life composition. It is moving to know that Hokusai painted this work on silk during the last year of his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is interesting to note that in turn, under the influence of \u2018Japonisme\u2019 at the end of the 19th century, fans became an inspiring decorative motif for Western artists and in a way emblematic of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today in Japan, fan motifs still feature prominently on seasonal greeting cards. To my eye, the fan motif is an illustration of the dynamism of Japanese aesthetics and its ability to transform something from everyday into a dazzling decoration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As museums remain closed, instead of discussing an exhibition of Japanese art as I had been hoping to, I thoug [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":4981,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[407],"tags":[309,58,164,470,310,84],"class_list":["post-4974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","tag-fans","tag-katsushika_hokusai","tag-oribe","tag-sophie_richard","tag-tawaraya_sotatsu","tag-tokyo_national_museum"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Japanese art according to Sophie Richard: Fans as decorative motif in works of art | \u7d21\u3050\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It is thought that the folding fan was invented in Japan, sometime around the 7th century.
