Akira Minagawa × BANANA to YELLOW
Banana to Yellow will be selling original items in collaboration with Akira Minagawa.
This is a rare collaboration with artist Akira Minagawa , and is slightly different from the artwork for Minagawa himself, the designer.
In addition, we will also be selling the original artwork "Hana-kiri" and "Asa-giri" that Minagawa created himself specifically for this collaboration.
*If there are a large number of applicants, a lottery will be held.

<Collaboration items>
Mr. Minagawa's artworks have been developed into carefully crafted items, including folding fans.
The folding fans, which are the identity of Banana to Ierou, are made by artisans who combine the traditional Kyoto folding fan techniques preserved by the company's parent company, Miyawaki Baisenan, with designs that suit modern sensibilities and meticulous printing techniques, and are handcrafted one by one.
T-shirts and bags that can be used in any season feature pockets for folding fans. You can always carry your favorite folding fan close by. It's a recommended item that can also be used as a fashion accent.

＜Artwork＞
This is a one-of-a-kind piece that Minagawa created specifically for Banana to Yellow.
The works, named "Flower Mist (hana-kiri)" and "Morning Mist (asa-giri)," respectively , evoke the sensation of wind or the flickering of air.
Comment from Mr. Minagawa
"Hana-kiri" depicts small wildflowers shrouded in mist, appearing like flowers blooming in the clouds.
"Morning Mist" depicts the scene as the mist and sunlight blend together around sunrise, enveloping the landscape in a light mist.

<Even if you don't have a fan, you'll want to have a fan>
In modern times, fans are primarily used as a tool to cool down.
However, if we trace its roots, we find a history of it being carried regardless of the season for reasons of etiquette and style, as something that one wanted to have even if one didn't have a fan.
At Banana to Iero, we aim to convey the beauty of this uniquely Japanese fan culture to modern people by presenting new ideas for fans as art pieces, tools for self-expression, and fashion items.
