Maisendo Nishiki branch

household goods

The store is filled with fans and Japanese goods, overflowing with a Kyoto-like atmosphere. Not only do they have fans to keep you cool in the summer, but also fans for decoration that are appreciated for celebrations and other occasions. This is a store that specializes in fans and also deals in a wide variety of Japanese sundries. The largest number of fans is stocked from spring to summer, gradually increasing their supply from around March. You may wish to have one for yourself or as a souvenir.

The often-heard "Kyo-sensu(Kyoto fan) " is certified as such by using materials such as bamboo, paper, and cloth from Japan and being made in Kyoto. Those approved by the relevant association are numbered with a tag.

In addition to fans, they also have cosmetics, accessories, and Japanese goods such as gamaguchi (kiss-clasp pouches).

A variety of methods, such as drawing, printing, stencil printing and papercutting, are employed to make fans.
