Amabie is a legendary mystic creature who sends rays of light from under the sea to deliver various prophecies including those of pandemics and harvesting conditions. According to the legend, drawing a picture of Amabie brings divine resources to help mitigate pandemics.
The frame is made from a giant timber bamboo grown in Kagawa Prefecture. The leaves are made of Japanese washi paper produced in the Awa region of Tokushima, which is a neighboring prefecture producing traditional handmade paper.

A Master of Traditional Crafts produces each fan using bamboo grown in the Marugame City region.
As the largest Japanese Uchiwa fan producer, it has been recognized for its production capacity and various designs since the Edo period. The red emblem on the package is a proof that the Uchiwa fan has been handmade in Japan, which is certified by the Kagawa Prefecture Uchiwa Cooperative Association. In 1997, Marugame Uchiwa fans were registered as Japanese Traditional Crafts by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
