If you're looking for a large persimmon tannin fan, this is a must-see.
To give the fan's paper depth, the "shibubiki" process involves applying color with a brush three times, letting it dry, and then applying persimmon tannin (extracted from persimmon fruit) three times. This treatment is said to give the paper durability and a unique luster, as well as antibacterial and insect repellent effects. Because it is handmade, the luster and color may vary slightly each time. Another characteristic is that the luster increases and changes beautifully over time.
This fan is about 3 cm longer than a standard men's fan, making it larger and generating more airflow, perfect for those seeking to cool down. It is a well-made Kyo-sensu supported by traditional techniques and is recommended for taller individuals as well.
