Year of the Goat - 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027

People born in the year of the goat tend to be shy, kind, peace-loving.

These handmade Junishi fans represent the animals of the Japanese zodiac. These emblematic figures are stretched to fill the surface of the fan, creating a play of appearance and deformation. The use of gold ink links the drawings together to create an amusing and magical bestiary.
