Natural Leather Fan

A leather fan crafted with traditional Japanese artistry and WabiSabi Leather.

Enjoy a cool moment with this sustainable fan and the scent of leather, which will develop a vintage patina over many years.

The more you fan, the more polished the color becomes, creating a truly unique leather fan.

Currently, it takes approximately one week from the time of order until delivery. Each item is individually dyed randomly with a brush using Suzuka ink, a traditional craft, so the patterns will vary.

◆ Product Features

◇ Leather fan that ages beautifully ◇

While some leather fans exist, it is technically difficult to thin vegetable-tanned leather (leather tanned with plant-derived ingredients) to less than 0.3mm while allowing it to age beautifully. Therefore, most leather fans available are made of chrome leather (leather tanned with chemicals). However, chrome leather unfortunately does not develop the beautiful aging characteristics that are so appealing in leather. The reason we were able to create a leather fan that ages beautifully using vegetable-tanned leather is due to the existence of rare, high-quality calfskin with a dense fiber structure.

Please enjoy the process as the leather fan and ribs develop a luster and transform into your own unique fan over time.

◇ Unique Patterns in the World ◇
The "Natural Leather Fan" is created by individually hand-dyeing each fan randomly with Suzuka ink, a traditional craft, using a brush, followed by a shiny finish.When illuminated by light, beautiful patterns of black and metallic blue emerge, making each fan one-of-a-kind.

◇ Kyoto Fan Crafted by Skilled Artisans from a Long-Established Kyoto Fan Shop ◇
The creation of a fan involves approximately 20 major steps and about 80 detailed steps, including processing the ribs and the leather, with a complete division of labor.

The natural leather fan, which allows you to enjoy its aging process, begins with the efforts of Japanese leather tanneries and is a completely made-in-Japan product filled with the techniques of Kyoto's fan artisans.Please enjoy the aging process of the natural leather fan, which is distinctly different from paper fans, and the aroma of leather carried on the cool breeze.

*Please note that the pattern and color of each fan will differ due to the dyeing process, so the actual product you receive may vary from the photos.
