The fans of Japan

The Japanese fans, known as uchiwa and wariko, hold an essential place in Japanese culture. Much more than mere utilitarian objects, they embody a rich and fascinating traditional art that dates back centuries.

The rigid fans, or uchiwa, are often made of bamboo and paper, providing a sturdy structure. They are used to cool down during hot summer days, but they also play a role in many ceremonies and festivals. The patterns that decorate them vary by region and season, ranging from delicate flowers to landscape scenes, each carrying a deep meaning.

On the other hand, the folding fans, or wariko, are more delicate and easily portable. Their elegance and portability make them ideal for cultural events, traditional dances, and even theatrical performances. These fans are often adorned with symbolic patterns, representing animals, elements of nature, or symbols of luck and prosperity.
