Folding Fan Set
A folding fan set typically comprises a folding fan and associated accessories, often presented as a gift or collectible item. These sets vary significantly in content and price point, reflecting the craftsmanship, materials, and historical or artistic significance of the included items.
Fan - Core Component
The central element is the folding fan itself.
- Construction: A folding fan consists of a number of radiating ribs (typically made of bamboo, wood, or plastic) connected by a pivot point at the handle (also known as the stiles). These ribs are joined by a membrane, traditionally made of silk, paper, or fabric, which is often decorated with paintings, calligraphy, or other artwork.
- Types (based on Rib Count & Style):
- 21-Rib Fans: A common standard, offering a balance between portability and surface area for artwork.
- 18-Rib Fans: More compact, often used for travel or as a fashion accessory.
- 12-Rib Fans (Palmetto Fans): Often associated with Spanish or Latin American traditions.
- Gusset Fans: Feature a rounded shape, offering a different aesthetic.
- Travel Fans: Compact, often with a protective case.
- Materials:
- Ribs: Bamboo is the most traditional material, prized for its strength and flexibility. Wood (sandalwood, rosewood) is used for higher-end fans, offering durability and a luxurious feel. Plastic is common in more affordable sets.
- Membrane: Silk is the most luxurious and durable material, frequently hand-painted. Paper (rice paper, mulberry paper) is used for more affordable options and is often used for calligraphy or painting. Fabric (cotton, linen) provides a more durable but less refined surface.
- Decoration: Decoration varies widely, including:
- Hand-painting: Often featuring landscapes, figures, birds, flowers, or calligraphy.
- Printed Designs: More affordable sets frequently use printed designs.
- Embroidered Designs: Can be found on fabric fans.

Sets often include items to complement the fan, enhancing its presentation or functionality.
- Fan Case: Protects the fan from damage and dust. Cases are commonly made of silk, brocade, wood, or plastic.
- Fan Stand: Allows the fan to be displayed when not in use. Stands are typically made of wood or ceramic.
- Fan Pouch: A smaller, often silk, pouch for carrying the fan.
- Calligraphy Brush & Ink: Included in sets intended for calligraphy practice or artistic expression.
