As chrysanthemum is in the form of a radial pattern, it is said to resemble the sun. It signifies immortality, longevity, and sound health, and is believed to ward off evil spirits.
This Uchiwa is made from a giant timber bamboo grown in Kagawa Prefecture and the leaves are made of Japanese Awa washi paper.
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.
