Kenji Yoshikura

A fan that sparkles like a translucent night sky!

The fan surface, ribs, and assembly have been carefully finished by skilled craftsmen.

The traditional technique of applying gold leaf with animal glue (nikawa) and alum water (dosa) is combined with a modern design sensibility.

The scattered foil called "colored foil" depicts the Milky Way flowing across the summer night sky.

This modern fan, which can be paired not only with kimono but also with Western clothing, adds a beautiful and refreshing touch to hot summer outings.

It is ideal as a gift for visitors and anyone interested in Japanese culture and handicrafts.

About the "tamejiwa" (dimples) of the fan:
High-quality fans undergo a process called "tameru," in which heat is applied to the ends of the ribs to bend them inward so the fan closes more easily. As a result, wrinkles resembling "tamejiwa" (dimples) may appear on the inside of the ribs; this is a characteristic of fans made from natural materials and finished by hand, so please understand this in advance.
