“Uchiwa” is the name of a traditional round fan that is popular during the hot summer season in Japan. “uchiwamora,” is a series of special uchiwa made in Ishinomaki, with the hope of sending a breeze along with our prayer to Tsunami devastated areas.To create “uchiwamora,” Japanese calligraphy brushes were hung from a tree in Ishinomaki and as the wind blew, it created rhythmical brush strokes on the paper uchiwa. There is an additional series of fans “KIDS x aromamora,” designed by the children staying in the evacuation shelters in Ishinomaki. All these designs are one of a kind. This series of uchiwa are scented by “aromamora &01Tohoku,” a fresh, comforting scent inspired by the forest in Tohoku.
