It is said that Tadatoshi Hosokawa, the first feudal lord of the Higo Domain, encouraged the making of uchiwa fans in the land of the people who came here, which was blessed with materials. Raitin Shibu Uchiwa, which can only be made by the people of Kumamoto, is said to be a prosperous business in the sense that "the people are coming." It has also been used as a lucky charm as a gift. ○ What is “Shibu” in Shibu Uchiwa? The liquid obtained by crushing and fermenting mamegaki is called persimmon tannin.
