10. Marugame Uchiwa Fan made with Bamboo (丸亀うちわ)

An uchiwa is a traditional Japanese fan. Marugame Uchiwa fan making used to be a side-job for samurai in the Edo Period, and since the Meiji Period it continues to be a major industry for the Marugame region. Currently, Marugame region makes about 80-90% of all of the bamboo uchiwa fans produced in Japan. Unlike other fan-making regions, Marugame makes the fans from one piece of bamboo rendering them stronger and more flexible.
*When selecting the design for the fans, the creator may be asked to extend the fan design to other products as well.
