More Details
Since 1944, Shiomi Dansen has been producing Kyoto Fan, the traditional hand fans of Kyoto. Drawing on decades of accumulated skill and passion, they combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques and trends to create fans in a wide variety of designs. Visitors will be guided through the workshop where they can actually see the manufacturing process of Kyo-uchiwa. Having also been highly regarded as an art craft since ancient times, uchiwa-men (fan masks) are made from many materials that resemble traditional Japanese paintings. Many of the works express the beauty of Japan, including people, plants, and seasonal scenery.
