Founded in Ōmihachiman, Shiga Prefecture, Nishikawashouroku Shoten has been crafting folding fans for generations. Rooted in traditional Japanese fan-making, the workshop is known for its precise construction, thoughtful material choices, and designs that balance function with understated beauty.
Each fan is made to be used daily — opened and closed countless times — which is why attention to structure, balance, and durability is central to their work. From indigo textiles and sashiko-inspired fabrics to carefully shaped bamboo ribs, every detail is considered for comfort, longevity, and quiet visual harmony.
This collection brings together folding fans by Nishikawashouroku Shoten that reflect a respect for tradition while fitting naturally into modern life — practical objects shaped by skill, restraint, and experience.
