Hosekaken, a long-established fan shop, is a brand suitable for those seeking individuality, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. Established by a master painter, the workshop engages in design work including hand painting and printmaking. It is featured in numerous department stores such as Ginza Hakuyodo, Isetan, Hankyu Department Store, and Takashimaya, and has been loved by many for years as a luxury brand.
Hosekaken has developed the "Tako-sen," the first fabric fan made with over 60 ribs, including the side ribs, achieved through advanced design and craftsmanship. Fans made with 60, 65, or 70 ribs are referred to as Tako-sen. In addition to its aesthetic beauty, it opens and closes smoothly, creating a wing-like breeze due to the flexibility of bamboo, embodying both functional beauty. The name of the company reflects the idea of a rich family, with the parent ribs symbolizing parents and the middle ribs representing children.
The aluminum parent ribs are cool to the touch, making them ideal for days. Designed with a stylish look for business use, this fan allows you to enjoy the fusion of traditional techniques and modern sensibilities.
Product Size: Box size: 264x115x26mm, Fan length: approximately 225mm. Material: Fan surface: polyester, Fan ribs: aluminum and bamboo.
Care Instructions: Since the fan is made of fabric, paper, and bamboo, it will wear out with use regardless of price. The lifespan of a fan varies; some may last for 10 years, while others may need to be replaced annually. Opening or closing it forcefully with one hand can cause significant damage, and repairs may not be possible in such cases. Please be sure to read the "How to Handle Your Fan" instructions attached to the fan pouch before use.
