Founded more than 170 years ago, Ikeda Gankodo is now the only remaining specialist dedicated to the traditional craft of Nara uchiwa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fan is made through a series of skilled, time-consuming processes. Dyed washi paper is carefully carved using a technique called sukashi-bori, creating fine cutwork patterns across the surface. The paper is then mounted over a closely spaced bamboo frame, giving the fan its distinctive flexibility and gentle breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red and pale blue versions feature a deer or wild boar and a five-story pagoda, familiar symbols of Nara. The ivory version displays a more elaborate classical motif, framed by a decorative pattern along the lower edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful both as a functional summer fan and as wall decor, each piece carries the elegance of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are used items and show visible signs of age, including fading, small tears, surface marks and wear around the edges.
