• Materials and Craftsmanship: This product is handwoven using natural aohigo (green bamboo bark), a material used in traditional Japanese crafts. Aohigo possesses the natural characteristics of plants, with a smooth and supple surface that develops a delicate texture after weaving. • The hand-weaving craftsmanship ensures each fan has a unique texture while maintaining the material’s inherent breathability. Over time, this natural material develops a warm luster, aligning with the Japanese aesthetic preference for natural materials. • Structural Design: The folding fans are available in two traditional shapes: the Shikao style and the Bashō style. The Shikao style features smooth lines, while the Bashō style mimics the broad shape of a banana leaf, with the fan surface forming a natural bundle. When opened, the Bashō style offers a larger coverage area. Both designs adhere to traditional fan construction, ensuring a secure connection between the ribs and the fan surface for smooth opening and closing. • The overall design has a retro feel, making it a perfect match for Japanese-style spaces and traditional clothing. • Lightweight and portable: The product is lightweight, making it convenient for daily carry and use on the go. Its compact design allows it to fit easily into a tote bag or backpack without taking up much space. Whether you’re attending a summer festival or fireworks display, or simply commuting to work, you can pull it out and use it anytime.
