Folding Fans

Brown left-handed fan

Left-handed folding fans, from Japan.

A standard folding fan opens to the right — which means left-handers fan in reverse, or switch hands. Ours open to the left, the way a left hand naturally moves. Traditional Japanese fans, made to be used the way you hold them.

Made for left-handers, chosen by one

Some tools are made specifically for the left hand. Others work comfortably either way. Every item is selected and used by Aya, who is left-handed.

Curated from makers we trust

Most of our tools come from Japanese makers we've worked with for years — Suncraft, Mitsuboshi Cutlery, Schneider, and others. A few things, we've made ourselves.
