  Round UCHIWA (Japanese Fan) making workshop

  The Japanese fan used year-round also has aesthetic value. In the Edo Period, the authorities which “the Tokugawa shogunate” issued sumptuary laws restricting the sale and possession of luxury items among the common people. The ban reached as far as restricting aesthetic items such as hand-painted ukiyo-e. However, fans with portraits of Kabuki actors, bijin-ga pictures, or woodblock printed ukiyo-e were not subject to confiscation, and they spread into the general public. At this workshop, you will learn how to make Round UCHIWA and a history of Japanese UCHIWA.
