A must-see for those looking for a large-sized persimmon tannin fan.
To give depth to the fan paper, the "shibubiki" process involves applying color three times with a brush, and after drying, applying persimmon tannin (juice extracted from persimmon fruits) three times. This process is said to give the paper durability and a unique luster, as well as antibacterial and insect-repellent properties.
Due to the handmade nature, the luster and color may vary slightly from time to time. Another characteristic is that the luster increases and changes beautifully with age.
This fan is about 3 cm longer than a regular men's fan, and its large size provides more airflow, making it ideal for those seeking coolness. We also recommend this firmly made fan, supported by traditional techniques, for taller individuals.

Characteristics of Paper Fans
・Made by layering three sheets of paper and inserting the ribs, providing strength and durability.
・The ribs are not exposed, making it beautiful from any angle, and usable on both sides. Some feature hand-painted designs by artists, which can be enjoyed as art.
・Since air does not escape when fanned, it provides ample airflow and feels cool.
・Incense is applied to the tip of the central rib, and a subtle Japanese fragrance is also one of its charms. (The fragrance fades with age)
