[Reasons for its popularity] The timeless design featuring dragonflies in flight and a bamboo grove is very popular. [Dragonfly] is said to symbolize victory and forward-looking attitude, while [bamboo] symbolizes moving straight up and upward through life's milestones, like bamboo.
[Design] The fan surface features auspicious dragonflies and bamboo depicted in woodblock prints, with paper-cut designs in places, creating a refreshing design. The fan surface, known as "Jicho," is longer than the fan ribs, allowing for a powerful breeze that makes the most of the fan material. Furthermore, the fan surface is made of two layers of Awa washi paper and silk, which prevents wind from passing through and gives it a unique texture.
[Product Size] Box size: 264 x 105 x 26 mm, Fan length: approx. 225 mm [Materials] Fan surface: Washi paper and silk, Fan frame: Bamboo
[Handling Instructions and Precautions] Because fans are made of cloth, paper, and bamboo, they will wear out with use regardless of the price. The lifespan of a fan varies from person to person; some people use them for 10 years, while others buy a new one every year. In particular, opening and closing the fan forcefully with one hand can cause extreme damage and breakage. Please note that in this case, repairs are not possible. Before use, please be sure to read the "How to Handle Your Fan" instructions attached to the fan case.
