Fan came to us from the East. The first mention of him refers to China to the VIII-II century to our era. In Europe, he appeared at the beginning of the XVII century thanks to Jesuits and merchants who collaborated with China. And it did not have any relevant popularity and significance at the courtyards of European emperors. It came to the point that during the baroque and Rococo Fan was part of the ceremonial actions and communication between aristocrats. For example, ladies could reveal the fan only in the presence of the queen. As for communication between people, if the woman concerned the open fan of the lips and the heart, she told her chosen one that he was her ideal. If I wanted to show the Uhager that he was not at all suitable, the fan was applied with his right hand to the left cheek. We offer you to plunge into this world, and learn how to make a fan with your own hands.
