After enjoying the freedom to add your owndecorations like foil stamping , you will finish the fan with your own hands and take home your creation.
Additionally, you'll start with a workshop tour. Our company is the only one where you can observe the entire fan-making process, including layering paper, cutting, folding, and finishing.

Factory Tour and Fan-Making Experience
Experience the unique art of kyoto fan-making at our workshop, where we handle every step of the fan-making process under one roof. Unlike most factories that operate on a division of labor, our facility is a rare gem where you can observe the entire process of crafting fans, from cutting and folding the special paper known as jigami to the final touches called tsuke.
Creating a design pattern
We'll create a draft design that will guide the fan's final look.
Painting
Follow your design to paint your fan. Don’t worry if you’re not an artist; you can achieve a beautiful finish by applying gold leaf.
Leaf Application
Choose from a variety of foils, including gold, silver, copper, and tin. Apply your favorite foil and brush it for a stunning effect.
Add your name!
By adding your name during the draft design stage, you'll have a custom fan featuring your name.
