It has been 430 years since we first opened our shop in Nihonbashi. In the Edo period, the shop was known as the publisher of famous ukiyoe artists such as Toyokuni I, Kuniyoshi, and Hiroshige, and specializes in round fan and folding fan.
New this year is the indigo-dyed folding fan. Indigo dyeing is believed to be effective in deodorizing, repelling insects, and repelling snakes, and has been used for a variety of purposes, including kimonos, tenugui hand towels, and noren curtains.
Last year, we were approached by an indigo dyeing craftsman and spent a year creating this product," said Nobuo Yoshida, president of the board of directors.
