Young Brunette Girl Reveals In Blue Sheets With A Hand-held Fan

Japanese fans are made of paper on a bamboo frame, usually with a design painted on them. In addition to folding fans (ōgi), the non-bending fans (uchiwa) are popular and commonplace. The fan is primarily used for fanning oneself in hot weather.
The fan symbolizes friendship, respect and good wishes. They are given on special occasions, and they are also an important stage prop in Japanese dance.
It was also used in the military as a way of sending signals on the field of battle, however fans were mainly used for social and court activities.
In Japan, fans were variously used by warriors as a form of weapon, by actors and dancers for performances, and by children as a toy.
