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

Kyoto Folding Fans

This is the name of a fan made mainly in Kyoto.
■Made in
Kyoto
■Origin
It was first made in Kyoto in the early Heian period , derived from a piece of wood (mokkan, about 30 cm long) that was used in place of writing utensils at the time.
■Characteristics
Kyoto Folding Fans are made of bamboo or wood frames to which paper is pasted, and are characterized by their lightness, small size, and delicacy. There are a wide variety of types, including hiwogi, which are made of several thin cypress boards stacked on top of each other, kahoriogi, which are made of five or six thin boards to which Japanese paper is pasted, Noh fans, dancing fans, tea ceremony fans, and congratulatory fans. The beauty of Kyo-fans produced by the handiwork of skilled craftsmen is not only their beauty, but also the fact that they fit well in the user's hand, and the wind blowing off Kyoto Folding Fans with many fan bones is supple and attractive.
