A Japanese shibu uchiwa fan in the Sensen shape, handmade in Kumamoto from Japanese paper coated in persimmon tannin (kakishibu) and attached to a bamboo handle. Often used by chefs in Japan and around the world, it's perfect for cooling foods such as sushi rice, or controlling heat and flame on charcoal grills.
Shibu uchiwa have been made by artisans in Kumamoto Prefecture, southern Japan, for 400 years. The naturally dyed persimmon tannin strengthens the paper and deters insects, and its natural colour shifts and deepens with age.
Also available in black. Also see the Shomaru Fan.
