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

Blu-swing - クラゲ (Kurage) - Lyrics
song (spotify) Japanese/Romaji/English lyrics under the cut
クローム調が僕を透かし 滑らかな曲線を描く影が綺麗だね 沈むあの子に会いたいな 宇宙の彼方へと行けたらいいのに
触れてしまえば 傷つけてしまうでしょう
孤独が好き そんなことはない 群れるのが好きじゃない ただそれだけ 波に任せて漂うよ この夜も帳が下りてゆく
しなやかな手を��り 君とラ・カンシオン 舞い踊ろうよ 無限のループ いつか海に溶けて 秘密に還るだけ
音のない世界 冷たい感触 果てなく続いてく 青が青に深く深く揺らめいて ねえ 今宵も君を夢見る
孤独が好き そんなことはない 見失わないで 目を逸らさないで 時の丘でひらめくよ ほら 今宵は月が綺麗だって

The chrome finish smooths out my edges, and my shadow has such nice, sleek curves I wish I could see that sad girl If only I could travel to the far reaches of the universe
If you touch it, you’ll probably get hurt
It’s not that I enjoy being alone, it’s just that I don’t like crowds That’s all; I just let the waves carry me And night descends on us once again
I take hold of your soft hand, and dance to a song with you It’s an endless loop One day it’ll melt into the sea, and return to being a secret
A silent world, cold to the touch Stretching on infinitely Layers of blue create deep ripples Hey, I’m going to dream of you again tonight
It’s not like I enjoy being alone Don’t lose sight or look away from it It’s shining on this hill in time Look, the moon is so beautiful tonight

Yoshimitsu is a notable smith of the Bizen tradition, particularly during the Muromachi period. The NTHK-NPO Kanteisho certificate attributes this sword to him circa the Kansho era: 1461~1466 (550 years ago).
The katana delights in being ubu (original length) with a classic Bizen gunome choji midare hamon (wavy clove blossom temper line).
Well-made horimono (engravings) of Sankozuka with Gomabashi and Bonji bring good fortune bring character and good fortune to the blade.
It is said that a sword fitted in a red saya (scabbard) is forever sharp and special.
Koshirae (fitting) elements from the Edo-Period include:
Fuchi (collar): Iron and Dragon Gold Takabori (high relief carving)
Kashira (pommel): Crafted from buffalo horn
Menuki (eyelets): In the design of Omodaka (plants growing in paddy fields)
Tsuba (guard) Sukashi (open work) of iron with double Masu (square wooden box traditionally used to measure rice)
Saya (scabbard: Shu (lacquered in red)

Those special summer fans are called kyo uchiwa (Kyoto round fans) or sukashi uchiwa (cut-out round fans), just look at how intricate those designs are (pictures seen 1, 2 and 3)

Back in like late middle school/early high school, I was REAL hyperfixated on Samurai Pizza Cats and, by extension, its og Japanese version, Kyatto Ninden Teyandee. And, I had it real bad for this guy:
Tumblr media
Guido. Or, as he's called in the Japanese ver, Sukashi. He thinks he's hot stuff, but really, he's as much of a goofball as Speedy/Yattaro is lol. But there my kid self was, crushing on this fella.
To my surprise, that crush is still kinda there, in stasis. Waiting to come out again. Seeing the eps in HD, finally, I can kinda feel it coming back for the first time in years.
Oops. :p

Very interesting tsuba known as a Shingen (信玄) tsuba. There are a few examples of this type of tsuba that supposedly originated from the Famous warlord Takeda Shingen. One story is that Takeda Shingen wrapped brass wire around a iron sukashi tsuba while waiting patiently before a major battle. Supposedly this kept him calm and focused and able to react and think in a clear manner when it counted. Because of this practice of his, many of his supporters followed in his actions and made these tsuba as well. Apparently, this habit carried on through the Edo period, as there are examples made during the 1600's -1700's. Basically, these type of tsuba are a large iron sukashi plate with brass wire wrapped in and out of the design. There is a lot of time and effort put into the weaving of these tsuba`s design, and the few examples that are left are very interesting for collectors. A few strands are missing, but in otherwise good condition and excellent patina on the iron. Also comes with a tsuba box with 信玄鐔 Shingen Tsuba written on it..

Sore de wa
