Miyawaki Baisenan x UNITED ARROWS Bespoke "Kyoto Folding Fans"

UNITED ARROWS

Charming items featuring Disney characters for a playful touch.

In celebration of Disney's 100th anniversary, UNITED ARROWS is releasing a limited collection of Kyoto folding fans in collaboration with Miyawaki Baisenan. Miyawaki Baisenan is renowned for its fusion of famous art and craftsmanship, consistently creating fans that embody the elegance of Kyoto, a tradition passed down through generations.

Miyawaki Baisenan is a long-established fan maker founded in 1823. Even after the third generation conceived of decorative fans as works of art, the tradition and techniques have been carried on to this day. Their fan-making, which harmonizes utility and beauty—from the feel and ease of opening to the weight and usability—is highly acclaimed. The fan surfaces feature a variety of original designs, many of which are hand-painted.

The items created in this collaboration with UNITED ARROWS are inspired by the title logo of "The Mickey Mouse Club," a variety show that aired in America from the 1950s to the 1960s.

Their pop and playful appearance, combined with an elegant finish, is likely a testament to the craftsmanship of this long-standing maker. The fans carry Miyawaki Baisenan's unique scent, reminiscent of musk, offering a sense of tranquility with every use.

These are perfect for personal use or as gifts, offering a chance to experience the craftsmanship of a time-honored maker.
