Miniature uchiwas (Japanese fan) made by Kobayashi Rekisai (1884-1959) and his companions. Each uchiwa is only 2.5cm wide. Rekisai made them in the same way of real fan: pasting paper on bamboo frames. There is also a uchiwa rack made of thin bamboo and a wrapping paper to give the fan. Every small part of it shows the artist's high skill.
