A shop specialising in traditional, elegant, Kyoto uchiwa fans.

It's a short walk to Aiba from either Shijo Station or Karasuma Station. They've been in business since 1689; around 330 years!
What makes Kyo uchiwa fans different from other uchiwa is that the handle is attached after the spine, bamboo ribs, and the cover paper. They feature incredibly elegant art, and have even been used in the imperial court.
At Aiba, each and every uchiwa is made by hand. While maintaining the tradition, they add their own creative flare to their work, and recent creations such as their transparent uchiwa are cooling just to look at. Also, uchiwa has a characteristic of featuring four seasons, which allows you to feel each beautiful season of Japan.
Reflect on their long history while cooling off with an elegant uchiwa.
