63-INCH EXTRA LARGE HAND-PAINTED WALL FAN — CONTINUOUS ABUNDANCE KOI & WISTERIA ON VAULT ARCHIVE WHITE RICE PAPER

THE ARTWORK: AN IRREPLACEABLE ARCHIVAL FIND

• The Limited Vault Archive: This masterpiece represents a rare, finite treasure from our studio’s private archive collection. Hand-painted 27 years ago, each fan is a unique, individual creation. Because a human hand applied every stroke of physical paint and ink to the textured rice paper, no two compositions are identical. The fluid rendering of the six energetic koi fish paired with the delicate cascading wisteria represents an elite, classical execution—once our current vault stock is cleared, these exact original brush expressions cannot be replicated.
• The 27-Year Archival Date Stamp: Documenting its authentic creation timeline within our 30-year legacy studio, the upper-left calligraphy bears the handwritten character stamp “歲次己卯年” (Suì Cì Jǐ Mǎo Nián), dating this original fine art piece back to the traditional cyclic calendar year of 1999. In keeping with elite artisan preservation standards, the painted rice paper was kept pristinely stored flat in our vault drawers to protect its mineral pigments and charcoal ink-wash from fading, and was only recently custom-mounted onto its frame, guaranteeing spectacular gallery clarity.
• Three-Master Collaboration: This fan is a prestigious collaborative masterwork requiring three distinct levels of specialized craftsmanship. First, a diligent technician selects the highest-tier natural bamboo wood strips to boil, smooth, and finish for flawless handling. Next, a veteran studio master hand-painted the vibrant crimson and golden scales of the six koi fish and the delicate lavender hues of the hanging wisteria vines from scratch. Finally, a master structural technician with over 30 years of assembly experience custom-mounted the fragile 27-year-old rice paper to the skeleton frame—a rare, highly technical skill requiring extreme precision to prevent tearing.
• Design Theme & Symbolism: Features an exquisite, traditional ink brush composition of six energetic red and golden koi fish swimming gracefully beneath a dense canopy of blossoming purple wisteria vines. Paired with elegant handwritten calligraphy that reads "年年有余" (Nián Nián Yǒu Yú)—which translates beautifully to "May You Have Abundance Year After Year"—this classic motif weaves a powerful visual and verbal pun where the word for fish ("Yu") sounds identical to the word for surplus. In traditional heritage, the six koi fish represent smooth progress and a steady, harmonious flow of wealth, good fortune, and enduring prosperity in your home.
• Background & Organic Frame Accent: A crisp, classic white rice paper background that allows the radiant crimson scales of the koi and the delicate lavender hues of the wisteria to pop with museum-grade gallery contrast. While photos mistake it for common wood, holding this masterwork reveals the true luxury of our top-tier skeleton frame. Meticulously boiled, seasoned, and hand-buffed to a gleaming, silky-smooth luster, the natural bamboo retains its pure organic spirit, offering a brilliant, clean gallery presentation that anchors the artwork with modern architectural elegance.

HOW TO SAFELY OPEN YOUR FAN

Please Open with Care: To protect the artisan rice paper and bamboo frame, do not pull the sides apart. Follow these simple steps instead:

1. Face the Artwork: Hold the closed fan vertically with both hands. Make sure the painted picture is facing toward your face.
2. Hold the Left Steady: Keep your left hand still to anchor the left side of the fan.
3. Push Forward to Open: Use your right hand to gently push the rightmost bamboo stick forward to open it.
4. Guide it Smoothly: Let the bamboo slats slide safely past each other at an angle until the fan is fully opened to 63 inches.

(Note for Left-Handed Friends: Even if you are left-handed, please make sure to hold the left side still and use your right hand to push the right stick forward. Opening it from the left side can cause the slats to bind and damage the delicate rice paper.)

INSTALLATION & HANGING INSTRUCTIONS

Effortless & Secure Setup:

1. Carefully unfold your fan to its full 63-inch display width.
2. Locate our pre-knotted, slip-proof hanging loop on the back of the bamboo frame. We personally hand-tie and test every single knot so it will never slide loose under the fan's weight.
3. To Mount: Because the fan is lightweight (only 1.3 lbs), you can simply hang the secure loop onto a standard wall nail or a damage-free adhesive hook (like a Command hook). No heavy hardware or complicated tools required!
