season word 0531 Japanese folding fan


 
BYAKUDAN, I learnt the aroma of it, from the folding fan of my grandmother
 
Flip-Flap, my father waves in his face, black Japanese hand fan
 
---------
The folding fan sounds elegant, and hand fan sounds functional,
So I use the word of folding fan on my grandmother's one, and the word of hand fan on my father's one.
 
Did you know that the origin of folding fan is in Japan.
They were exported and in Europe they use silk clothe instead of paper. And the European ones were imported to Japan.
I found an interesting article.
