It uses "cashew lacquer," which has the same components as lacquer, giving it a sense of luxury and high dignity. Auspicious maki-e (sprinkled picture) style patterns are applied to the sides. This is a Suehiro suitable for celebrations. "Kyoto fan" refers to items made using materials from around Kyoto and produced by skilled craftsmen in each manufacturing process. These Kyoto fans are not only beautiful but also characterized by their comfortable fit in the user's hand. Use it by inserting it between your obi and obiage on the left side of your chest, so that the top half is visible. When greeting, take out the Suehiro with your right hand, place your left hand under the Suehiro, bow, and return it to its original position. This series of actions is performed each time you bow. The name "Suehiro" comes from the shape of the fan when opened, which widens towards the end, and it is said to be a wish for lasting happiness. Also, during the engagement ceremony, the fan is used as a threshold to sit on, which also means to humbly offer a step back to the other party. It is considered a violation of etiquette to open and fan yourself with the Suehiro. Basically, it is always used in a closed state. Also, a Tame-nuri Suehiro cannot be used with a black formal kimono. Please use it when wearing a colored formal kimono, visiting kimono, or a plain colored kimono. #See all products from sakanashop here ※ Only one item in stock, so please consider it as soon as possible(^^) Management number: 10-602 $$580
