Kyoto Shogado Yuzen Washi Fan, Fujin Raijin [SGD-FAN-FUJIN] Men's and Women's Japanese Pattern Paper Fan, Stylish, Unique, Gold

Shogado is a Kyoto-based Japanese stationery manufacturer that produces Japanese books such as goshuincho (stamp books), pencil cases, origami paper, etc. While inheriting the traditional techniques of Kyo-Yuzen, they offer a wide variety of Japanese stationery that reconstructs traditional patterns with modern color schemes and designs.

All of Shogado's Japanese stationery is made in Japan, using Yuzen washi paper that has been carefully dyed by hand. The washi paper is sourced from Echizen (Fukui Prefecture) and other washi-producing areas in Japan. The Yuzen washi paper is gorgeously dyed by Kyoto artisans, who have been involved with the company since it was founded in 1964, using multiple dyeing stencils to layer colors, giving it a texture, shine, and presence that cannot be expressed with ordinary printing.

Shogado's Japanese stationery pursues designs that are accepted not only in Japan but also overseas, while still conveying the Japanese aesthetic sense. With a wide range of colors, from calm to vibrant, you're sure to find a design that suits your taste.

Kyo-Yuzen paper is made by artisans in Kyoto one sheet at a time using a technique similar to silkscreen printing.
For one design, several blocks are prepared for each color, and the pigment is applied one block at a time for each color with a spatula.
Yuzen paper made by hand dyeing in this way has a texture, shine, and a sense of weight that machine printing does not have.In addition, because it uses pigments, it is resistant to fading.

The elegant and beautiful impression of Kyo-Yuzen has been given a chic color scheme and design that is old-fashioned yet blends in with modern times, resulting in a one-of-a-kind Kyo-Yuzen paper.

The front and back are double-layered, so the bones are less likely to show through.

The base of the folding fan is based on the "Kazaugi" fan, a basic shape that has long been popular among Rakugo performers and Kabuki actors since the Edo period.
It is 7.5 inches x 15 cm, a size that is usually used by men, but it is also easy for women to use.

Paper fans are better at catching wind than cloth fans, so they feel cooler.
