Banshu-ori and Kyoto folding fan

Hyogo × Kyoto
A Collaborative Folding Fan Beyond Regional Borders

The fan surface features Banshu-ori, a textile that represents Hyogo Prefecture.

Banshu-ori is renowned as the first textile in Japan to adopt the yarn-dyeing technique, where threads are dyed before weaving.

Its exceptional quality has been recognized by prestigious brands such as Louis Vuitton and Burberry.

The irregular, flowing lines of the distinctive "Yoroke-ori" weave create a refreshing pattern, as if carrying a gentle breeze through a clear blue sky.
