We are a high-end brand that has been loved by many for years, with our products featured in numerous department stores including Ginza Kyukyodo, Isetan, Hankyu, and Takashimaya. <Perfect for Gifts> These fans are widely appreciated as gifts for anniversaries such as Father's Day, as presents for loved ones, or as a special treat for yourself.
[Takosen (Multi-Happiness Fan)] Hosekiken has developed the first fabric folding fan in history made with over 60 ribs, including the two outer guard sticks, achieved through advanced design and expert craftsmanship. Fans made with 60, 65, or 70 ribs are referred to as "Takosen." They possess not only "visual beauty" but also "functional beauty," opening and closing smoothly and creating a breeze like wings thanks to the flexibility of the bamboo. Furthermore, in line with the origin of our company name, the outer guard sticks represent the parents, and the numerous inner ribs represent the children, symbolizing an "ideal, prosperous family."
[Colors] [Shikkoku (Jet Black)]: A traditional Japanese color, this is a deep, glossy black reminiscent of lacquerware coated in black urushi. [Tokiiro (Ibis Pink)]: A classic color, this beautiful light pink was traditionally favored by young women for kimono dyeing. [Sorairo (Sky Blue)]: A light, bright blue with a hint of purple that evokes the image of a clear daytime sky. [Tomekon (Deep Navy)]: The darkest shade of navy, representing a depth of color that cannot be dyed any further. [Murasaki (Purple)]: A color historically prized as the highest status, as it was the most difficult to obtain in ancient times.

[Handling Instructions & Precautions] As folding fans are made of fabric, paper, and bamboo, they will naturally wear out with use regardless of price. The lifespan of a fan varies by individual; some use them for 10 years, while others purchase a new one every year. Please note that opening or closing the fan forcefully with one hand can cause extreme wear or breakage. Such damage cannot be repaired. Before use, please be sure to read the "How to Handle Your Folding Fan" guide included in the fan pouch.
