Gold leaf is used for temples and shrines of great historical value, such as Kinkakuji Temple and Nikko Toshogu Shrine, as well as for lacquerware, pottery, and various other crafts. Gold leaf has developed along with 36 other traditional crafts that have been handed down since the time of Lord Toshiie Maeda, the founder of the Kaga Domain. Kanazawa foil, which was a material, is now recognized as a Kanazawa foil craft today and has established itself as a representative traditional craft in the craft kingdom of Kanazawa."

 【Features and Design】

A beautiful and tasteful fan that is highly practical and becomes more tasteful the more it is used. Shimane madake bamboo and Tosa Japanese paper. This is a handmade product made of pure domestic materials using traditional techniques. The fan paper is painstakingly coated with layers of persimmon tannin, which has been handed down since the Heian period (794-1185), and the more it is used, the more it tastes better. The beautiful luster of the persimmon tannin fan paper and the bamboo shaft with foil maki-e applied by a foil craftsman give it a Japanese “iki” (style) feel. The result is a beautiful fan that can also be used as a decorative fan. <Delicately dancing peacock feathers
The beautiful azure pattern on the golden feathers delicately depicts a peacock's feathers in the air. The surface is green and the reverse side is brown, making it reversible. You can enjoy a different look by holding it differently on each side [front: green, back: brown].
