Sensu by Amanda Padfield is a beautifully distinctive original artwork, created on a traditional Japanese folding fan and presented as an elegant framed statement piece. The fan itself has been carefully painted by Amanda and then box framed in a black wooden frame with a gold slip, allowing the sculptural form of the fan to sit proudly within the frame while enhancing the rich tones and delicate detailing of the artwork.

In Japanese culture, a sensu is a traditional folding fan and is often seen as a symbol of prosperity, growth and good fortune. The fan opens outward from a single point, representing a future that continues to unfold and expand, making it a powerful and optimistic symbol.

Amanda has brought this beautiful object to life with her signature attention to detail. Soft blossoms cascade across a luminous field of gold, their delicate pinks and whites dancing against touches of turquoise and sky blue. Fine branches weave gracefully across the fan while small decorative elements and subtle textures add layers of interest and movement.

The gold leaf catches the light beautifully, enhancing the sense of depth and craftsmanship within the piece. Every section of the fan reveals thoughtful details, inviting the viewer to explore the artwork slowly and appreciate the intricate work that Amanda is known for.

Elegant, unusual and rich with cultural symbolism, Sensu is both a celebration of traditional Japanese form and Amanda Padfield’s refined artistic style — a striking piece that brings beauty, craftsmanship and meaning to any interior.
