Basic Knowledge of Folding Fans

Men’s Fans & Women’s Fans

These terms generally refer to size differences traditionally associated with men and women.
There is no strict rule—please choose the fan size that best matches the image and balance of your artwork.

Thin Ribs & Flat Ribs

When closed, fans with ribs narrower than the paper are called thin-rib fans, while those with ribs matching the paper width are flat-rib fans.
Select the structure and design that best suits your preference and writing style.

Writing on White Fans or Fan Paper

White fans have an uneven surface, which can make writing difficult for some users.
If so, fan paper is recommended. You can write on the paper first and then have it mounted into a folding fan.
This mounting service is available at Shoyu stores—please feel free to contact us for details.
