Japanese Fans

Fans are not only a tool for Geishas and Samurais. During the humid hot summer, fans come in pretty handy and they are not difficult to get hands on. Two options:

1) Spend a minor fortune on a beautiful handicrafted one in Kyoto.






2) Accept a fan for free from the many guys who hand them out on the streets. This will turn you into a walking commercial for a karaoke bar, a real estate agency or ... so choose with care.
