Wiracana is able to produce 1,000 fans per day with the help of advanced technology in the form of a laser engraver. The application of this machine not only aims to increase the quantity but also the quality of the product. Besides the application of machines, the best results are also guaranteed by the involvement of more than 70 local artists. The design of the Wiracana hand fan has a graceful appearance so that it can also be displayed as an interior object.
