[Reasons for its popularity] Lilies, with their pure yet glamorous charm, are popular not only as funeral flowers and for private occasions, but also for business occasions such as store openings and formal occasions like weddings, which have positive connotations. The fan's long rib, known as "tanji," is made from high-quality, carefully selected bamboo and processed to a very thin thickness, allowing you to enjoy a blissful breeze with a smooth suppleness. The bamboo ribs and natural silk provide a perfect bond, making this fan a timeless favorite for everyday use or formal occasions.
[Design] This silkscreen print features a modern line drawing of a lily on thin silk using traditional Japanese techniques. In the West, white lilies are considered a symbol of the virgin Virgin Mary, and are often depicted in paintings depicting the birth of Christ and as the Queen of Heaven. In Japan, lilies are also considered a metaphor for beauty, and there's a well-known proverb that compares the swaying of a lily in the breeze to the walking of a beautiful woman: "The figure of a lily is like a walking flower."
[Product size] Box size: 264x115x26mm, Fan length: approx. 210mm [Material] Fan surface: silk, Fan ribs: bamboo
[Handling Instructions and Precautions] Because fans are made from cloth, paper, and bamboo, they will wear out with use, regardless of price. The lifespan of a fan varies from person to person, with some people using them for 10 years and others purchasing a new one every year. Opening and closing a fan too quickly with one hand can cause extreme damage and breakage. Please note that repairs are not possible in this case. Before use, be sure to read the "How to Handle a Fan" instructions included in the fan bag and use it with care.
