[QUOTE="SeaHorse, post: 1170995, member: 42311"] I carried a cheap Chinese bamboo + (fake) silk folding fan. 20 cm long, lightweight and very useful. Still have it and like it. I have quite a collection of traditional folding fans. Bamboo/metal tai chi ones that open with a big bang, Japanese samurai fan made from Kyoto bamboo and special paper that's supposedly could stop an arrow (never tested), Spanish flamenco fans, Chinese with old paintings and hieroglyphs, etc.... Some of those were designed not only to make breeze for your comfort but also as a self defence weapon, mostly used as a stick when folded but there's a branch of wushu that uses fans very creatively by suddenly opening them to distract attention and conceal your movement. Bought filigree bamboo fans for both my parents too, green for mum, her favourite colour, black for dad, more masculine, told him that if Karl Lagerfeld can use one, he can use one too. He used it in hot weather on train commute to work (worked till 72) and says people were jealous. BTW now looking for 13-14 cm/5,5 inch or smaller fans, if you happen to see one, please send me a link in PM.🙏 [/QUOTE]
