The traditional Kumamoto Prefecture, a traditional craft from the Edo period. The citizens have been regarded as the three major production regions of the fan along with Kyoto and Marturtle. By applying persimmon harvested from blue unripe rattles (yamu persimmon) to the surface of the body, the Japanese paper is durable and effective as an insect repellent, and the rustic color will grow deeper with age. The "citizen shiwa" is a lucky item throughout the four seasons, so it can be used for memorabilia and gift giving. Also makes a great gift. --------------- Product Size (W x H x D): 5.9 x 11.8 inches (15.0 x 30.0 cm); Material: Shabama, Japanese Paper, Persimmon Shibu; Model: Kurikawa Shoten (Made in Japan)
