Hand Fans - Personalized Hand Fans

Legend has it that the first hand fans were invented when a Chinese farmer, irritated by flies and mosquitoes that bothered him while he worked, picked up a large leaf with a long stem to brush the pests away. In the process, he found an effective way to cool himself after a long day in the harsh sun. Thus, the hand fan was born. Learn more about the history of hand fans in China and in Japan.

After that, fans caught on quickly and took center stage in Chinese culture, becoming a fixture at imperial ceremonies and entertainment performances. In modern times, the hand fan is as iconic as a Chinese cultural symbol as the Japanese silk kimono is to Japanese culture.
