Japanese Bowl Fan

Inspired by a Japanese cloisonné enamel dish shown at the influential Oriental Art Loan Exhibition held at the Corporation Galleries, Glasgow in 1882. The exquisite craftsmanship and design of this piece captivated many artists of the time, including a young Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose later work was shaped by Japanese aesthetics. This fan pays tribute to that moment of creative inspiration, blending cultural appreciation with elegant design.
