VALEDO, a collaboration between Ibasen and Carbonell, a long-established folding fan maker in Spain

VALEDO fans are made in collaboration with "Abanikos Carbonell," a long-established folding fan company located in Valencia, Spain. The material used is a wood called palo santo (rosewood).

The fan culture seems to have spread to Europe via the sea during the Nanban trade with Spain in the early Edo period. The hot climate of Spain seems to have suited the fan culture, and fans of this shape are still used today.
