Un voyage vers la culture asiatique. It was the Japanese who, in the 7th century, invented the folding fan, or sensu in Japanese. Legend has it that it was a peasant who designed the first folding fan after watching the wings of a bat fold and unfold. The Japanese fan symbolizes belonging to the aristocracy during the feudal era. This design is an inspiration of the Japanese fan, a deconstruction of its elements resulting in sharp yet smooth elements forming altogether a conceptual form of the Japanese fan.
