Made only from natural bamboo and washi paper, they offer a "gentle breeze and an indescribably pleasant feeling," and feature stylish, modern Japanese designs. Fans, introduced from China during the Nara period, are said to have the function of creating a breeze and strengthening the presence of the gods. Because they symbolize stirring up the power of the gods and warding off disaster, fans are an integral part of festivals, such as mikoshi (portable shrines) and Bon Odori dances. Recently, fans have also been attracting significant attention as an initiative related to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). These fans are a convenient and sustainable item that can also be used as an energy-saving measure! Their timeless colors and patterns make them perfect for everyday use, as well as for outdoor activities and camping. They also look great with yukata or happi coats at festivals.
