Hello! I'm Kaori from HIDARI.
In Japan, folding fans, or "sensu," have been cherished for centuries. Their beautiful and elegant presence has garnered attention not just in Japan but all around the world.
One of the main attractions of a sensu is its practicality, providing quick relief from the heat. However, they are also popular as decorative items. While we encourage you to use a folding fan in your daily life, did you know that most are designed for right-handed use?
Let us introduce you to our "Left-Handed Folding Fan."
What Makes a Left-Handed Folding Fan Different?
If you've ever used a traditional folding fan with your left hand, you know how frustrating it can be when the fan closes unexpectedly. This happens because right-handed fans are not built for left-handed use, and they tend to close on their own.

Our Left-Handed Folding Fan is designed with the left-handed user in mind. The ribs of the fan are reversed, allowing for a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
・The fan opens effortlessly with your left thumb.
・Your thumb and pinky finger naturally hold the fan open, making it easier to use and more comfortable to fan yourself.
Crafted from Luxurious Silk for a Cool, Elegant Look
Our "Left-Handed Folding Fan" features silk material. While it may provide a gentler breeze compared to paper fans, its sheer and cool appearance is truly captivating.
Elegant Bamboo Ribs
The bamboo ribs of our fans come in two beautiful color options: light brown and dark brown. Each color features unique designs, making each fan a work of art.
Light Brown Ribs: This design showcases a natural feel with a delicate pattern on the reverse side.
Dark Brown Ribs: This design offers a more refined and sophisticated appearance, characterized by its unique style.
Vibrant Colors to Match Your Style
We offer a variety of color options to suit different tastes. Choose from two colors for the light brown ribs and three colors for the dark brown ribs. Whether you prefer a soft, natural tone or a bold, vibrant hue, you're sure to find a fan that complements your style.
How to Care for Your Left-Handed Folding Fan
Because of their delicate structure, folding fans must be handled with care. Our left-handed folding fans, in particular, can break if opened incorrectly—even once. The bamboo ribs are also fragile, and applying too much pressure while fanning can damage them.
To ensure your fan stays in great condition, we include an instruction leaflet with every purchase. If you're giving the fan as a gift, don't worry—your loved one will have all the information they need to care for their new fan.

The Perfect Gift for Left-Handers
Our Left-Handed Folding Fans make a thoughtful and unique gift for left-handed people in your life. Each fan comes with a stylish fabric case, making it easy to carry, and is packaged in a beautiful wooden box—perfect for gifting.
I once gave one of these fans as a present to a close friend, carefully choosing a color that matched their personality. They were thrilled, and it became a cherished item.
If you're looking for something special for a left-handed friend, consider gifting a Left-Handed Folding Fan—a unique and elegant accessory they'll love. Fans like these make perfect gifts for left-handers and anyone who appreciates beautiful, functional items.
Versatile, Stylish, and Practical
While primarily designed for practical use, left-handed folding fans also make stunning decor pieces when not in use. Whether displayed in your living room, as part of a home decor theme, or used at a special event like a summer get-together, these fans can add a touch of elegance to any setting.
You can even pair your fan with a casual summer outfit to elevate your style with a sophisticated flair.
