Hosekaken, a long-established fan shop, is a brand suitable for those seeking individuality, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. Established by a master painter, the workshop engages in design work, including hand-painting and printmaking. It is featured in numerous department stores such as Ginza Kyukyodo, Isetan, Hankyu Department Store, and Takashimaya, and has been loved by many for years as a high-end brand.
Hosekaken has developed the "Tako-sen," the first fabric fan made with over 60 ribs, including the side ribs, realized through advanced design and craftsmanship. Fans made with 60, 65, or 70 ribs are referred to as "Tako-sen." In addition to its aesthetic beauty, it opens and closes smoothly, creating a wing-like breeze through the flexibility of bamboo, embodying functional beauty. Moreover, reflecting the origin of the company name, the main ribs represent parents, and the middle ribs represent children, symbolizing a rich family and the "ideal form."
The aluminum main ribs feel cool to the touch, making it very useful on days. Designed with a stylish look for business use, it is a fan that allows you to enjoy the fusion of traditional techniques and modern sensibilities.
Product size: Box size: 264x115x26mm, Fan length: approximately 225mm. Material: Fan surface: polyester, Fan ribs: aluminum and bamboo.
Care instructions: Since the fan is made of fabric, paper, and bamboo, it will wear out with use regardless of price. The lifespan of a fan varies by individual; some may use it for 10 years, while others may purchase a one every year. Particularly, if opened or closed forcefully with one hand, it may suffer extreme damage or break. In such cases, repairs cannot be made, so please be cautious. Before use, please refer to the "How to Handle the Fan" attached to the fan pouch for proper care.
