Did you know that the folding fan was invented in Japan around the 6th to 8th century.  In the 16th century Portuguese traders introduced it to the west and soon both men and women throughout the continent adopted it.  They are used today by Shinto priests in formal costume and in the formal costume of the Japanese court (they can be seen used by the Emperor and Empress during coronation and marriage) and are brightly painted with long tassels. Simple Japanese paper fans are sometimes known as "harisen".

Folding fans continue to be important cultural symbols and popular tourist souvenirs in East Asia.  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.
