This is a PORTER original folding fan, commissioned from Miyawaki Baisenan, a long-established Kyoto folding fan maker founded in 1823.
Miyawaki Baisenan has manufactured and sold almost everything in-house since the Edo period, continuing its traditions and techniques to this day. Each folding fan is a captivating combination of function and beauty, with a unique texture, opening, weight, and ease of use.
The fan surface is available in two colors, olive and navy, and features the PORTER logo and "PORTER-kun" on the front and back. The included strap is an original braided cord that can also be worn around the wrist. The folding fan case is made from PORTER's signature nylon twill fabric and comes with a presentation box featuring silver foil stamping.
The fan itself is infused with a musk scent, known for its gentle warmth. The fragrance is an original blend of four fragrances by Miyawaki Baisenan.
A small amount of fragrance is soaked into the tip of the fan rib and left to dry for 2-3 days. The rib is then placed inside the fan paper, sealing in the volatile fragrance and allowing the scent to last for a long time. This
is a masterpiece that combines the traditional techniques of Miyawaki Baisenan with PORTER's unique design and functionality.
