Today’s Japanese word “Sensu” (Folding fan).
“Sensu” is one of the “tool to make a wind by fanning”.
In addition, the “Sensu” is used even in ceremonial events and entertainment.
“Uchiwa” (round fan) is similar to the “Sensu”.
But “Sensu” is different from the “Uchiwa”.
When it do not use time, “the folding fan” is folded small.
The “Sensu” is such a tool.
