The Back StoryMore: There is quite a history behind the ōgi, the Japanese word for a folding
Fan. Special fans were used by the military to give signals during
battle. Referees of Sumo wrestling matches used fans to signify their
status. And actors, in Noh and Kabuki theaters, used fans to accentuate
gestures and emotions. There are two types of folding fans – one made
with flat strips of wood and the other with paper or silk.
