The practice of writing or painting on fans is recorded very early. The consort of the emperor Ch'eng of the Han dynasty in 33 BC wrote lyrics on fans. By the Sung dynasty (960-1279 AD) painted circular fans became popular in court circles and court artists, including emperors are recorded as having painted these type of fans and they became known as 'palace fans'. These fans were so treasured for the art works that many were immediately dismounted from their frames and mounted as album leaves, a practice which has fortunately preserved many of them to our time. Our decorated fans are made of translucent silk with assorted patterns of fishes, flowers, birds, or butterflies. Bamboo handle.
