Its products are sold at numerous department stores, including Ginza Kyukodo, Isetan, Hankyu Department Store, and Takashimaya, making it a luxury brand beloved by many for many years. [Also makes a great gift] It makes a wonderful gift for anniversaries like Mother's Day, as well as a gift for loved ones or a treat for yourself, making it a delightful gift for many.
[Takosen (Fan of Happiness)] Hoseikiken has developed the first cloth fan in the history of folding fans, a fan made with more than 60 ribs, including the main ribs on both sides, realized through advanced design and artisanal skill. Fans made with as many ribs as 60, 65, or 70 are called "Takosen." In addition to their visual beauty, they also combine functional beauty with smooth opening and closing, and the flexibility of the bamboo creates a wing-like breeze. In keeping with the origin of our company name, the main rib is the parent and the middle rib is the child (many), representing the "ideal image" of a prosperous family.
[Design] The fan's ribs are lacquered, while the center ribs are made of glossy sooted bamboo. The washi paper on the fan surface expresses an abstract wind, and artisans have elegantly sprinkled genuine gold leaf for a cool, refreshing finish. The 70-ken Tako fan's ultimate functional beauty allows you to enjoy luxurious breeze, smooth opening and closing, and a relaxing, blissful time.
[Product size] Box size: 273 x 113 x 48 mm, Fan length: approx. 225 mm [Material] Fan surface: paper, Fan ribs: bamboo
[Handling Instructions and Precautions] Because fans are made from cloth, paper, and bamboo, they will wear out with use, regardless of price. The lifespan of a fan varies from person to person, with some people using them for 10 years and others purchasing a new one every year. Opening and closing a fan too quickly with one hand can cause extreme damage and breakage. Please note that repairs are not possible in this case. Before use, be sure to read the "How to Handle a Fan" instructions included in the fan bag and use it with care.
