These folding fans are slim, minimal, and modern. They’re also backed by centuries of craftsmanship. Easy to take on the go, each fan is a beautiful accessory with a rich connection to Kyoto's culture.

The Sumi Fan - Arashi

Embodying the winds of a summer storm, the brush strokes have energy, vitality, and movement. Their curve and interplay complement the shape of the fan.

The sumi fans are a collaboration between 200-year-old fan maker Miyawaki Baisenan and Iwaki Honoka, a young calligrapher with an expressive approach to brushwork.

Miyawaki Baisenan

This multi-generational business has produced elegant fans since the Edo period, beginning in 1823. Throughout its history, it’s had close ties with Kyoto’s literati and artists—its shop name was even bestowed by painter Tomioka Tessai.

They care deeply about the succession of the sensu-making technique, often creating new fans based on which craftspeople need work.

Honoka Iwaki

Honoka Iwaki is a Kyoto-based calligrapher and instructor who engages with calligraphy as a channel for poetry, words, and concepts. She employs different styles to allow for different expressions of the same idea, without determining a ‘right answer.’
