Here in Umaji Village, Kochi Prefecture, the days have been hot every day. We would like to introduce a summer staple, the wooden fan . Our wooden fan is a proud product that has been loved by our customers for over 20 years.

Why not enjoy creating your own unique summer crafts using a wooden fan during your summer vacation?

Why not write a picture or message using a pen or marker, affix a 120 yen stamp, and send out a summer greeting card? You can also make your own fun wooden fan using origami or felt, pasting summer motifs such as sunflowers, morning glories, dolphins, and whales. You can also use stamps from 100 yen shops or your own original stamps to decorate it as a stylish piece of interior decor.

Camping and outdoor scenes,
Enjoy a summer moment with a wooden fan!!

〇 Wooden fans are made by slicing thinly cedar wood into 0.5mm pieces and gluing three pieces together so that the grains alternate. This makes them flexible, strong, and long-lasting. There are three types.
