Note
When using a fan, please use it with care to keep it dry. When storing it for a long period of time, such as during the off-season, please use a piece of paper to hold the fan in place and store it in a box.
* The wrinkles on the fan To make it easier to close, a good fan has a process called "correcting" in which the fan bone at both ends is heated and bent inward Therefore, wrinkles like "wrinkles (dimples)" may appear on the inside of the fan bone, but please understand that this is a characteristic of fans made of natural materials and finished by hand.
