Komaruya Sumii came out with a limited-edition Japanese fan: Sports Kyo Uchiwa Fan, designed as “If today’s sports existed in the Edo era (1603-1867)”.

Since 1624, Kyoto-based Komaruya Sumii is one of Kyoto’s longest-established manufacturers of Kyo uchiwa (Japanese fan), Kyomaru uchiwa (Japanese fan) and Fukakusa uchiwa (Japanese fan).

Using its signature craftsmanship, the “Sports Kyo Uchiwa” fan series was born with the creative idea, hoping to soothe your mind.
