[A fan that expresses Japanese identity].

The Kyo Sensu has been associated with various traditional arts, Shinto rituals, and festivals, and has been influenced by the oriental virtues that they encompass.

Our goal is to create products that bring a little richness to people's lives by expressing what Japanese people consider beautiful and cherish with a modern sensibility.

Commitment to Products
This activity started around 2015, when I started working as a foil stamping craftsman for Kyo-fusen around 2009, and I had acquired various skills and knowledge. At first, the output was simply, "Isn't it nice to make a fan using a traditional craft technique that is in decline?

Through my activities, I began to think about what the essence of my craftsmanship was and what I could convey through other people's craftsmanship and overseas exhibitions.

As a result, I thought that the Japanese virtues and prayers contained in arts, Shinto rituals, festivals, and Buddhist rites, as well as the foil-stamping technique of Kyo Sensu, were the traditions that should really be conveyed to the modern age. The current brand concept [Kyo Sensu, which expresses Japanese identity] was arrived at.
