🪭 History

Sensu, or Japanese folding fans, originated in Japan. The oldest surviving example is a hiōgi, a wooden folding fan inscribed with the year 877. During the Heian period, fans served as ceremonial accessories as well as cooling implements, becoming part of court culture. Japanese folding fans had reached China by the late tenth century, showing their early movement beyond Japan. Over time, distinct types developed for cultural practices including tea ceremony, incense appreciation and dance. This history connects sensu not only with everyday cooling, but also with formal occasions and the performing arts.

This Kyo-sensu is a mai-ogi folding fan intended for dance practice, performances and festivals. Its washi paper leaf is supported by black-coated bamboo ribs.
