The "uchiwa" (round fan) is a traditional Japanese handicraft with a long tradition. Originally from China, it is made by cutting a bamboo tube into narrow splinters which are then splayed out in the radial shape of a fan. Over both sides of this bamboo frame is pasted "washi" paper.
They were used for various reasons dating from the Heian period, through to the edo period, and until today. For ceremonial items in the imperial court, tea ceremony, classical plays, and necessity to keep cool in the summer.
This is a traditional Uchiwa with beautiful design, perfect to complete your Asian style attire. I
