Japanese Fans

The fan is an immediately recognizable icon of Japanese culture, and one of a small number of ancient Japanese crafts whose origins lie not across the sea in China, but at home in Japan. Much more than just a tool for cooling down, Japanese fans are entwined in the nation’s long and fascinating history. Today they remain an important artistic medium and stylish fashion accessory.
