The Ethereal White Deer | Handcrafted Yunlong Paper-Backed Silk Folding Fan

Experience a dialogue between ancient myth and organic serenity with our White Deer Artisan Series. This masterfully handcrafted folding fan captures the spiritual elegance of the mystical white deer—a timeless eastern symbol of longevity, auspicious fortune, and scholarly grace.

The fan face utilizes an exceptional, traditional Yunlong Paper-Backed Silk technique. By seamlessly fusing semi-translucent, premium silk with artisan paper embedded with raw, visible plant fibers, the fan face achieves the rich luster of genuine silk on the front, while retaining the crisp, rigid pleats of a traditional scroll on the back.
