Comment from the creator

In Japan, it is said that tools that have been used for 100 years acquire spirituality and become deities of mourning, and since the Muromachi period, they have been depicted in otogi-zoshi or fairy tales, and have become familiar to people.
Crafts that have been used and embedded in people's daily lives since ancient times may have also become tsukemogami without our noticing.
In this issue of NFT, we are trying to imagine 20 traditional crafts from all over Japan as Tsukumogami(gods of mourning).
Please take a look and see if there is a Tsukemogami to your liking.

Introduction of each work

Marugame uchiwa

Uchiwa are made in and around Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture.
■Made in
Kagawa
■Origin
It was invented in the early Edo period as a souvenir for "Kompira mairi" (pilgrimage to Kompira) in Shikoku. It is said to have originated as a Shibu-uchiwa fan with the official logo of Kompira-gu Shrine, "Marukin" in vermilion red, in reference to the Kompira-san's Tengu feather fan.
■Characteristics
Marugame uchiwa are characterized by their light weight and familiarity when used in the hand when elevated, as well as by their flavor, which is not found in resin-made ones. Most Uchiwa have a single bamboo handle and bone, and are available in round and flat handles. They are used not only to create a breeze to keep cool, but also for various purposes such as sheltering from the sun, repelling insects, fashion, and decoration. While most uchiwa fans are made of resin, which can be mass-produced by machine, bamboo uchiwa fans are made by the hand of skilled craftsmen, and each one has its own taste and deep warmth, which is also attractive.
