UCHIWA

Hender Scheme reimagines the traditional Japanese uchiwa fan through its distinctive approach to leather craftsmanship. Carefully made by skilled artisans, it pairs a finely detailed bamboo handle and frame with cow leather thinned specifically for the fan, replacing the usual paper surface.

Rather than a disposable summer accessory, UCHIWA is designed to be enjoyed season after season. The leather develops a richer character with use, making the simple act of cooling down part of a familiar summer ritual. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates everyday objects with lasting character.
