Paperfan Chidori, Grapes waterblue

Cidori Fan (千鳥うちわ)
"Chidori" are small plovers flying over the sea. The word is a homonym for 千取り ("taking a thousand"), symbolizing the wish to gather a thousand fortunes. For this reason, the motif is often used as a good luck charm. Chidori are frequently depicted with waves, and since they represent overcoming the rough waves of society, they carry the meaning of marital harmony and family safety.
