Initially exclusive to the aristocracy, they evolved during the Heian period (794-1185) into symbols of status and art, adorned with intricate paintings. \u003cbr\u003eBy the Edo period (1603-1868), mass production made fans accessible to all social classes, with diverse designs ranging from practical to highly artistic. Fans gained symbolic significance in rituals, dances, and ceremonies. Despite a decline in everyday use during the Meiji era (1868-1912), traditional folding fans persist as cultural artifacts, revered for their historical importance and artistic craftsmanship in contemporary Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eKyo Fuan Omura \/ Go Omura\u003cbr\u003eAll of our fans are hand-made that inheriting the tradition. \u003cbr\u003eWe are particular about the raw materials such as domestically produced bamboo and Japanese paper, and all designs are hand-painted.\u003cbr\u003eWe use our own environmentally friendly iron to create highly original products.
