Shiomi Uchiwa Vegetable fan Shishigatani pumpkin

Shiomi Uchiwa continues to make Kyo Uchiwa, a Kyoto craft. The fan surface and handle are made separately, and the handle is inserted into the fan surface later, creating a unique "inserted handle structure." Because the fan surface is very flat, a wide variety of overglaze paintings can be used. For example, in addition to people and landscapes, various motifs such as haiku and waka poetry can be applied using cat paintings, woodblock prints, hand dyeing, hand carving, etc. In addition, the shape and design can be freely chosen, and in addition to the mainstream round and square shapes, it is also possible to make unusual shapes of fans. The "Vegetable Uchiwa" was made by taking advantage of this characteristic. The motif is Shishigatani pumpkin, a representative traditional vegetable of Kyoto.

Whether you use it to look at or to display, this vegetable fan will surely make your daily life even more enjoyable. It has holes in the handle for display purposes, and the back is made of white washi paper. You can print the name of your shop or menu on it, or use it as an original item such as a novelty. Great for your shop or home.
