In Kyoto, it is a long-standing summer custom for geiko and maiko to present traditional paper round fans (uchiwa) as a seasonal greeting.
The front of each fan features the family crest of their teahouse (ochaya) or boarding house (okiya), while the reverse bears the graceful calligraphy of the geiko or maiko‘s own name.
These fans are proudly displayed in the entryways of favored establishments across the city, showcasing the vibrant ties of the karyukai (flower and willow world).
Here at Endo, these exquisite fans lend a touch of airy coolness and refined elegance to our halls from early summer onward, and we warmly invite you to admire them during your visit.
お客様のご来店を、従業員一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
