"Her weapons are a smile and a small fan" – Enejiro Noguchi.⠀
The fans were in the hands of the Japanese Gods.
There is a legend about Atsumori’s widow, who cured the monk by fanning him with the first folding fan.
One of the most important details of the Japanese fan is the fastening. According to the legend, the Japanese God Kashima wanted to pierce the earth with a sword to bring it into balance and prevent earthquakes. His sword turned into a stone, which was called "Kaname-ishi", or " Rock is a Fan Anchor ".
The folding fan symbolizes life, the pin represents its beginning, and the diverging edges of the fan represent the road of life. The outer edges of the skeleton mean parents, the inner ones mean children who should be under parental control for the whole of their lives.
The fan is considered a strong talisman that brings happiness and well-being.
According to an old custom, lovers exchanged fans as a pledge of loyalty before parting.
Fans from the Gift Shop from Japan will become an exquisite symbolic gift, replace an ordinary wall painting and decorate the interior of your home or office.
