Here is a handmade fan of a kabuki mask that we bought at Marugame Castle. The castle was built on top of a hill about 400 years ago and the hill was fortified with walls and ramparts. You can see basically the whole city and more from the top, and the whole city can see it.
The fans came from a shop at the bottom described to me as Marugamejo no Uchiwahakubutsukan (The Marugame Castle Fan Museum). They were made in traditional style, using tree stumps, wooden blocks, and other outdated tools by similarly ancient masters of the craft.
This shirt looks awesome.
