Symbols of elegance and celebration, the folding fan (sensu) and the stork hold a cherished place in Japanese tradition. The sensu, long used in both performance and ceremony, embodies refinement, artistry, and the graceful gestures of dance. In Noh and Kabuki theater, the fan is a versatile prop that can suggest a sword, a lantern, or even the wind itself, transforming with every movement of the actor’s hand. The stork, a revered bird in Japanese culture, represents longevity, fidelity, and good fortune, often appearing in art, poetry, and festive occasions as a symbol of blessings and auspicious beginnings.
Sensu & Stork pen unites these two icons in vivid harmony. Against a radiant backdrop of pinks and purples, the soaring stork is framed by flowing clouds and the delicate folds of a sensu fan, evoking the poise, rhythm, and beauty of classical performance. The imagery reflects not only the grace of the stage but also the broader cultural reverence for harmony, balance, and nature that lies at the heart of Japanese artistry.
Accented with silver details, the pen embodies the refinement and symbolism of Japanese tradition, making Sensu & Stork a celebration of timeless artistry and cultural heritage. Exclusive to the BENU Store.
Please bear in mind that the photo may slightly differ from the actual item in terms of color due to the lighting during photo shooting or the monitor’s display. Moreover, each of these unique pens are hand painted. This means each pen slightly differs in art work, and as such is one-of-a-kind. Although all defining elements will be present, we unfortunately can’t guarantee their exact position on the barrel. Relying on a handmade process for these gorgeous works of art, rather than machinery production, is what makes each piece truly unique.
