The "La Beauté dans Chaque Éventail" exhibition area features Kyo folding fans crafted by a century-old fan workshop in Kyoto as the primary medium. These works integrate elements of Chinese landscape painting, bird-and-flower painting, traditional brush calligraphy, pen calligraphy, and contemporary art, captivating the attention of European and American visitors. Kasashima Gallery arranged professional multilingual guided tours, with Wei-Ting, Lin and Li-Lun, Wang providing clear and accessible explanations of the artworks, which combined Chinese culture and Japanese craftsmanship, in fluent French and English.
