Hinaga Uchiwa
As seen in the mural paintings of the Takamatsuzuka burial mound, Uchiwa fans were used to protect people from wind, light, and dust, and to hide their faces,
They were first introduced from China through Korea and used by aristocrats in the Nara period (710-794).
In the Warring States period, it was also used as a military uniform for warlords.
Handmade bamboo uchiwa starts with the making of the handle,
There are three main types of handmade bamboo uchiwa, based on the handle construction: hirae, sashie, and marue (round handle).
Hirae" is made from a large piece of bamboo that has been split and shaved flat, and has a flat handle.
Hiragara uchiwa are mainly made in Marugame, Shikoku.
Sapgara" fans are made with a separate fan face and handle, and are made in Marugame, Shikoku,
The thin bones are arranged one by one in a radial pattern, and the handle is attached later.
Sagara Uchiwa are mainly made in Kyoto.
The last type is the "Marugara," which is made of round bamboo.
Hinaga Uchiwa is this round-patterned fan (round bamboo fan).
The handle is round because one thin bamboo is used as it is,
It fits well in your hand and feels cool and comfortable when you hold it.
The handle is made of the same type of bamboo used for fishing rods, and the bamboo is split into small pieces,
The bamboo is split into small pieces and woven into an alternating bag shape, so it bends like a bow.
The three-dimensional bamboo is then stretched into a flat fan shape, which is difficult to process and requires a high level of skill,
The bamboo is woven in the shape of a fan, so it is difficult to process and requires a high level of skill, but this is what makes it so elegant, with the wind softly blowing through the fan.
How to create a comfortable breeze: ......
The lifeblood of an Uchiwa is the wind.
Hinaga Uchiwa is particular about round bamboo and has kept up the tradition of 300 years, which has been handed down to the present.
Different bamboo, different wind, different bending
