The fan surface, fan bone, and assembly are carefully finished by skilled craftsmen.
The design incorporates a modern sensibility into the traditional technique of applying gold leaf using glue and bansui.
The gold leaf is scattered to depict the twinkling stars in the pitch-black night sky.
The gesture of fanning oneself with a cool-colored fan is elegant and stylish, a chic item for adults.
These fans are ideal gifts for people from other countries as well as for those who are interested in Japanese culture and handicrafts.

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.
