Kyoto Fan: Cypress Fan

folding fan originated in Kyoto.

Their history is ancient, dating back to the Heian period.

It is said that the first fan, the “hinogi-ogi,” was created by binding together wooden slips that had been used as a substitute for writing paper during the Heian period, when such items were considered precious.

One such fan, inscribed with the year “Genkei 1” and discovered within the arm of the Thousand-Armed Kannon statue at Tō-ji Temple, is considered Japan’s oldest hinogi-ogi.

We hope you will cherish this fan for many years to come, letting your thoughts wander back to the distant Heian period.

Hinamatsuri Dolls' Cypress Fan

The dolls in the Hina doll display also hold hinogi fans. However, since hinogi fans themselves are heavy, versions made of paper and bamboo were developed to make them easier to carry. They also appear in Heian-period picture scrolls.

For more detailed information on hinogi-ogi—including its history, shape, and the etiquette associated with using them in the past—please see here (link to Wikipedia page).
