Ibasen - Japanese Zodiac Fan - Boar

These handmade Junishi fans represent the animals of the Japanese zodiac. These emblematic figures are stretched to fill the surface of the fan, creating a play of appearance and deformation. The use of gold ink links the drawings together to create an amusing and magical bestiary
