He felled the trees on his grandfather's mountain to clear the ground, hauled the firebrick in himself, and with a plasterer friend built a seven-metre wood kiln ten minutes' walk up the hill from his workshop. He sat awake two nights for the first firing. Twelve years on it still runs and has never needed repair. He fires three or four times a year, three days at a time, five to eight hundred pieces to a firing, always beginning on an auspicious day with thanks to the gods of the land and of the fire.\u003cbr\u003eThese pieces are yakishime — no glaze at all, just clay taken to a high temperature. Without a glass coat the clay itself does the talking, and the colour changes and glossy patches are ash, carried onto the pot by the flame as it travels up the slope of the kiln. The clay, the path of the fire, the temperature, the humidity of that day and the wood that made the ash all show, so no two pieces come out the same.

Since the Edo period almost everything has been made in-house, and the shop still stands as an early-modern machiya with its old fans kept inside as reference.\u003cbr\u003eThe painter Tomioka Tessai gave the house its name in 1887, after a famous Kyoto cherry tree, the Baisen-zakura. In 1902 a new display room was built and the third-generation owner asked the painters he knew to decorate its ceiling: forty-eight masters of the Kyoto school — Tessai, Takeuchi Seihō, Tanomura Chokunyū, Kawai Gyokudō — and twelve more painters from Tokyo covered it with fan designs. It is still there, on the second floor, and anyone may walk in and look up at it.\u003cbr\u003eA folding fan divides into more than twenty operations across three crafts: the ribs, the painted face, and the assembly that marries them. A finished fan is said to have passed through an artisan's hands 87 times. Only a fan whose face, ribs and finishing are all done in Japan may be called a Kyo-sensu. The house says plainly that artisans get harder to find every year, which is why it works as hard at passing the craft on as at making the fans.\u003cbr\u003e• Design: Fan Stand Dancing Sesame\u003cbr\u003e• Material: Bamboo\u003cbr\u003e• Hand-assembled bamboo ribs and washi\/silk — slight variations in colour and grain are the natural charm of handmade work; no two pieces are alike\u003cbr\u003e• Options available — choose your size before checkout\u003cbr\u003e• Arrives carefully packed — ready for gifting\u003cbr\u003eCare: Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight; store in the sleeve when not in use.\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications — Material: Bamboo · Origin: Kyoto, Japan · Maker: Miyawaki Baisen-an\u003cbr\u003eHandmade in Kyoto, Japan by Miyawaki Baisen-an.

A basket maker usually cannot do the first, and a fence maker usually cannot do the second. Takemata has kept a tradition of raising artisans who can do both. The house has run a bamboo craft school since 1979 as well, for no better reason than that people should get to touch the material.\u003cbr\u003eTo make white bamboo, green cane is cut from a tended grove, washed, and heated over charcoal or gas until the oil rises to the surface, where it is wiped away with a cloth, one length at a time.
