Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 14 October 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
This object is called 風車 (かざぐるま / kazaguruma) in japanese, in english this in known as pinwheel or windmill. A pinwheel is a child's toy consisting of a stick with colored vanes that twirl in the wind.
This pinwheel was given to my sister Andrea as a present, I have always liked how delicate it is and the colors; it is beautiful for my eyes and reminds me of my childhood. I wish you a wonderful Sunday! =)
Thanks to Laura and Raul for telling me the japanese name of this object!

Beautiful! By coincidence I saw one of these in a Japanese film I saw yesterday: Twighlight Samurai which was very good.

@aaxan: Thank you very much aaxan, a friend from the lab explained me that ふうしゃ is used for the windmills and かざぐるま is used for the pinwheel (toy)!
