This is a paper fan created in collaboration with the Osaka kimono manufacturer, Torie. The term "botanical" refers to plants and their origins, but originally described an era when explorers in Europe ventured into distant lands seeking rare plants. Before photography existed, botanists and artists teamed up to create scientifically accurate illustrations of unusual plants and herbs. This artistic representation became widely popular in the 19th century in England and France. What began as necessary research transformed into art and fashion!

Inspired by this historical context, this fan is designed in a size that's perfect for portability (approximately 22 cm). The front of the fan features a pearl color applied by artisans using brushes, while the back is finished with a unique technique known as "shikebiki." Every time you fan yourself, it reflects a sparkling light.

The fan pouch is designed for side access. The fan is produced by Kyo Minoya, which has been crafting fans using traditional techniques since its establishment in 1894.

We hope you enjoy using our fan in your daily life, finding joy in fanning yourself, and becoming a fan of fans!

No perfume was used during manufacturing.
