Love, love, love, these beautiful fans! What wonderful treasures from the past. These fans with your knowledge is priceless. I wish we had fans like these today. I used to have some fans as a child. Thank you for sharing these beautiful fans.
They were also for flirting, commonly required breeze due to the extremely tight corsets worn. Hence the use of fainting couches ad well. A further use which is often overlooked (although a primary use) was to fan away the odors often associated with those eras often rife in poor hygiene, horse manure, raw sewage etc.
I’m very happy to have found your FANtastic channel! (Liked and subbed.) I hope you don’t mind a bit of feedback on your filming, Sylvia. . . It’s great that you show us close-ups of these treasures, but I would urge you to be mindful of the need to zoom out as well! That way we get the big picture, too. Ciao for now!
Thank you for watching!! I appreciate any comments as I am not a professional, just a person hoping to share my love of old beautiful things!! Thank so much!😊❤️❤️
The folding fans were invented by the Japanese! Even Chinese people don’t deny it. There is evidence: a Chinese chronicle at the court of the Chinese Emperor mentioned Japanese emissaries coming with an object they had never seen before: the folding fan. The details are on Wikipedia. “The folding fan was invented in Japan, with dates ranging from the 6th to 9th centuries; it was a court fan called the akomeogi (衵扇), after the court women's dress named akome. According to the Song Sui (History of Song), a Japanese monk Chōnen (ja:ちょう然/奝然, 938－1016) offered the folding fans (twenty wooden-bladed fans (桧扇, hiōgi) and two paper fans (蝙蝠扇, kawahori-ogi) to the emperor of China in 988.”
