Inato Hinaga "Crane and Ume" Fragrance Uchiwa, KA-01

This unique traditional handcrafted Japanese fan does not only look incredible, but also smells great! The creative design includes a small opening on the top of the round handle, where the scented oil can be placed. 

The fan comes with a small bottle of Japanese traditional fragrant oil that will last you the whole summer, so that you can enjoy both the cooling effect of the uchiwa, and the pleasant fragrance of the oil. 

This beautiful fan is a small piece of art which also conveys a very powerful meaning: the stylized cranes drawn on the fine white paper are a symbol of longevity and prosperity. According to the old Japanese tradition, cranes are said to live peacefully a thousand years. The fan also features a set of smaller, symbolic drawings: flowers, twigs and leaves which stand for the pine, bamboo, and plum trees. These trees are called shō-chiku-bai (松竹梅) in Japanese and, together, they make up a whole which is said to bring about many happy events and joy.
