Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art Collection x "Miyawaki Baisenan"
ART LAB KYOTO limited folding fan

With the cooperation of Miyawaki Baisenan, a long-established fan shop in Kyoto that has been in business since 1823 (Bunsei 6), the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art has turned some of its most representative collection works into folding fans.

The company was founded in 1823. The founder, who was from Mino Province, founded the company by purchasing shares from Omiya Shinbei. The current shop name is Shoga
During the time of the third generation Shinbei, who had deep connections with literary figures and artists, in 1887 he was invited to the Japanese painter Tomioka Tessai.
It was named after the famous Kyoto tree called Mesenzakura. The trademark Miyako fan was created by Reizei Tameki.
