◎ Premium traditional crafts manufactured by a long-established Kyoto fan store that has been in business for more than 100 years
With a history spanning more than 100 years and a track record of delivering to various ministries and major high-end department stores, we manufacture premium traditional crafts with attention to detail. Each of these products is painstakingly finished by hand by craftsmen, and combines beautiful design with excellent functionality. From the materials used, to the design and shape of the pattern, we follow traditional techniques and update them to suit modern lifestyles. This commitment to each item by the handiwork of craftsmen is the reason why our fans are sublimated into a special existence and are evaluated as premium traditional crafts.
◎ Fan covered with 100% hemp fabric and spelled with a traditional hemp leaf pattern
The fan surface is the first in Japan to use 100% hemp fabric. It is a touch that is not found in cloth fans such as paper and cotton, and you can feel the smoothness and taste of nature. In addition, hemp is an ecological and sustainable functional natural material that has been useful all over the world since ancient times as a building material, fuel, clothing, medicine, and superfood. It is characterized by excellent durability while reducing the burden on the environment. The design of the fan is based on the traditional hemp leaf pattern of Japan (recently, it has been widely used globally for the kimono pattern of Nezuko, the heroine of "Demon Slayer," which Japan anime grossed 51.7 billion yen worldwide, and the exterior of the 2022 Dubai World Expo Japan building, as well as other product packaging). This fan, which combines hemp fabric and traditional patterns, is a new sensation item that fuses modern lifestyles and Japan traditions and delivers a pleasant breeze.
◎ Every time you suck, the scent of essential oils spreads, an innovative relaxing function
Essential oils are fragrance components derived from natural plants and are widely used in aromatherapy, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine. If you fan this fan, the mellow scent spreads on the wind, creating a pleasant relaxation. It is truly a fan that has evolved from a tool for dealing with heat to a tool for relaxation. Combining innovative relaxation features with traditional beauty, this product is sure to make your everyday life special.
◎ It is highly fashionable and portable, and is ideal for gifts and presents as a "carry-around aroma"
Its beautiful design and portability make it an active role in all occasions. The fan with the hemp leaf pattern fits in with all styles, both Japanese and Western, and adds even more gorgeousness just by holding it in your hand. In addition, it is foldable and compact, so you can easily carry it in your bag or pocket. You can easily carry it with you during work, study, watching sports, festivals, or even outdoors such as camping and mountain climbing, and create a relaxation time anytime, anywhere. As an "aroma (fragrance) to carry around", it is also ideal as a gift for your loved ones. Please enjoy the beauty and functionality that fascinates regardless of gender, and the special relaxation experience unique to this product.
◾️ The idea was a custom that existed in the ancient capital of Kyoto 1,000 years ago
At that time, it was customary to give each other fans dyed with their favorite scent. This product has revived this beautiful custom in modern times. This product is soaked with popular essential oils on the fan surface and fan bone. For the container, we use bamboo tubes (in preparation), which is also an environmentally friendly and tasty choice. It has evolved from a simple tool to cool off as Japan's first innovative relaxing item. We provide new value.

■ 1,200 years ago, the craftsmanship of Kyoto fan craftsmen
Fans are a traditional craft that originated in Japan about 1,200 years ago. Originally, we added the idea of "folding" to the fan that was transmitted from China, which is unique to Japan people. As a result, it is more compact and easier to carry. After that, it is said that it traveled to China, passed through the Silk Road, and spread to Europe. Currently, the cloth fans on the market are planned in Japan, but most of them are made of materials and manufactured in China. This product is the only "Kyo fan" that can be called "Kyo Fan" by using domestic bamboo and manufacturing it in Kyoto. The Kyo fan consists of 80 detailed processes before it is finished, and each process is carried out by skilled craftsmen in a division of labor (relay style). Enjoy this innovative relaxing function that combines ancient traditional techniques with essential oils.
