Nagoya Yuzen Kotobuki Folding Fan

Seeing all these handheld electric fans that Japan and its neighboring countries have been mass-producing for the last few years, it is fair to wonder if we need folding fans anymore? But just as people still like to wear kimono, there is something inherently elegant about a folding fan, especially if it's made by traditional craftspeople like the Nagoya Yuzen Kotobuki Folding Fan!

Brought to you by Suehirodo, a Nagoya company that has been making fans since 1912, the Nagoya Yuzen Kotobuki Folding Fan carries with it over a century of tradition, improvements, and optimization. The result is, as you would expect, stunning! Made of navy blue silk with a pattern featuring the Japanese character for kotobuki (meaning "congratulations," "celebration," and "longevity"), this 22.5 cm (8.9") fan comes with a fabric case with the same pattern and in a paulownia wood box for storage and display.
