Product Description: Valuing the spirit of harmony, Taniguchi Matsuyodo Co., Ltd. was founded in 1925 and is a manufacturer and wholesaler of colored paper, tanzaku, and washi accessories in Kyoto. While preserving the deep beauty of traditional washi passed down through generations, the company aims to develop products that incorporate ideas suited to the times. The fans produced with this ethos are handmade, inheriting traditional techniques, with every process carried out by skilled artisans. Additionally, thorough double inspections are conducted at the manufacturer. The company strives to improve product quality to ensure ease of use while allowing for long-term enjoyment.
Designed for ease of use in larger male hands, the fan features masterpieces of Edo painting! Recommended as souvenirs or gifts. During the Edo period, many masterpieces were created, and this fan features three of them printed on both sides. It is highly recommended as a souvenir for foreign visitors. The ribs have a glossy finish, adding to the bold patterns on the fan, creating a striking presence. The slightly larger size of 7.5 sun (approximately 22 cm) makes it perfect for men or those with larger hands.
Available in the following three designs:
- Unryu (by Maruyama Okyo)
- Wind God and Thunder God (by Tawaraya Sotatsu)
- Red Fuji (by Katsushika Hokusai)
Handmade using traditional techniques, the fan ribs are sun-dried and thoroughly dried. The paper or fabric is folded in an accordion style using a loom. Glue is evenly applied to the fan ribs with a brush, and the ribs are inserted. Careful and speedy work is done to avoid tearing as the ribs are inserted between the papers.
