Types of ôgi (folding fans), handy reference chart by Edo-era lover Nadeshico Rin. Please note this overview doesn’t cover all Japanese fan variations, for example also see maiôgi (舞扇 dance fan), tsunenoôgi (常の扇 common fan), shizume (鎮扇 noh fan), rokkoku (六骨 Kamakura fan), gunsen (軍扇 war fan), etc etc.

Fans were first imported to Japan from China, and were used from the start as symbols of status and refinement. Chinese fans were originaly rigid ones (see modern uchiwa), and according to Rin, foldable ones appeared in Japan during Heian period free from Chinese influences.

In the past, word ôgi 扇 meant “sliding door” (today 戸板 toita), and overtime lost its original meaning to only designate folding fans.

From right to left, you can see on first picture the oldest known Japanese folding fans:

Hiôgi (檜扇 - ひおうぎ) - hinoki cypress fan, used by Heian nobles. Some theorise those were first made from shaku 笏 (a type of ritual wooden baton used in Shinto) hold together by threads. Hiôgi were symbol of power and formal ones were heavily decorated with painted sceneries and dangling colorful ribbons.

Kawahori (蝙蝠 - かわほり) - lit. «bat» fan, appeared around mid. Heian period. Those were simplified hiôgi meant to be used in Summer. The lighter frame had paper pasted on one side, somehow giving the aspect of a bat wing when seen from reverse.

From there, kawahori fans morphed during Muromachi period:

Ukeori (浮折 - うけおり) or «floating» types which had unmovable handles and looser top parts. Some examples are: - Suehiro (末広 - すえひろ) - spread out fan, with curving ribs - Chûkei (中啓 - ちゅうけい) - ceremonial fan, used by nobles, samurai and monks - Bonbori (ぼんぼり) - the little brother of the chûkei which appeared during Edo period (bonbori are paper covered lanterns I don’t know if those and this fan are linked).

Shizumeori (沈折 - しずめおり) or folding types, where whole structure can be collapsed, looking quite sleek and refined. Most known fan of this type is: - Sensu (扇子- せんす) - folding fan, which is the most spread nowadays. During Muromachi period, paper began to be put on both sides, hiding the ribs. Interestingly, Imperial court still favors one side paper only even today as a nod to the original design.

During Edo period, folding fans use spread among the whole population and their ribs started to get more and more decorated with sukashi (透かし openwork). Some popular designs included:

Hanabishi (花菱 - はなびし) - flowery diamond-shaped cut-out

Nekomasukashi (猫間透し - ねこますかし) - «cat door» cut-out (sometimes also called nekome/猫目/cateye)

Kamatarisukashi (鎌足透し - かまたりすかし) - «heels apart» cut-out

Oosukashi (大透し - おおすかし) - big cut-out

Rokkotsusukashi (六骨透し - ろつこつすかし) - «six points» cut-out

Chôjisukashi (丁子透し - ちょうじすかし) - «clove» cut-out

Nagachôjisukashi (長丁子透し - ながちょうじすかし) -«long clove» cut-out

Another interpretation of the fan in Suzie’s room

I saw this really cool post about the fan behind Will and Mike in Suzie’s house [go check that out!] and I wanted to make my own post about it and approach it a little differently.

So let’s get into it:

The design:

The fan is brown with a light pink trim and there a red flowers with yellow centers displayed in its center. Even down to the color and shape of the leaves the flowers really remind me of a dahlia coccinea

Dahlias are actually often used in weddings due to the fact that they’re symbolic for commitment and an everlasting union. They also represent inner strength and creativity which both apply pretty well to specifically Will.

Pink is often associated with love and romance while soft pink is also associated with nostalgia and childhood. It ties into the fact that Mike and Will are childhood friends who are in love with each other.

The placement:

The fan is specifically placed behind Will and it’s open wide

“Wait for me” reminds me of all that’s been going on between Will and Mike throughout s3 and the beginning of s4. Will feels left behind by Mike and pleads with him to wait up. During that scene right after the fan is in the shot Mike also says “it’s top secret” as in the fan is sending a secret message.

“Don’t forget me” also ties into that but it actually applies way better to the specific scene because the fan is in the shot with both Mike and Will when they’re talking about Dustin’s birthday!!!! [birthdaygate]

Conclusion:

The design on the fan has some significant value for Will which is why it is sending a top secret message from Will to Mike. A message about commitment, love and romance. It’s also symbolic of an everlasting union and childhood which is why it’s also representative of Mike’s and Will’s connection to each other. [of course this only really applies if I identified the flower correctly]

The placement of the fan specifically applies to the scene at Suzie’s house and it’s sending the secret message “don’t forget Will’s birthday”

[update]

♡Paper hand fans♡

Part 1

I found all these gorgeous fans online and apparently they are all part of the John and Carolyn Grossman Collection. All the fans shown here are actually calendars and generally date from the 1900s to 1913!
