This elegant, open-fronted shop has specialized in handmade fans since 1823, particularly fans characteristic of Kyoto. A little English is spoken. Prices range from ¥2,000 ($17/£8.50) for a small tea-ceremony fan to ¥50,000 ($417/£208) for the best that money can buy. Open daily 9am to 7pm (to 6pm in winter).
