Uchiwa with printed designs were first produced in Japan sometime in or prior to the 1680s. [10] One of the earliest extant examples is a 1684 ehon (picture book) by Hishikawa Moronobu (菱川師宣) entitled Uchiwazukushi (Uchiwa Pictures of Every Variety), which includes illustrations within fan-shaped frames.

Miyazaki painted his most popular fan designs on kimono, and they were wildly popular. [3] He used rice paste to resist-dye the cloth in a method that he named yūzen-zome. [1] It later became known as simply yūzen. This technique made it easier for Miyazaki to paint his designs directly on the kimono, making them more expressive. [4]
The technique was named after Miyazaki Yūzen (宮崎友禅), a 17th century fan painter who perfected the technique. [2] Miyazaki Yūzen's fan designs became so popular that a book called the yūzen-hiinagata was published in 1688, showing similar patterns applied to kosode (the predecessor of the kimono).
Gunbai, from the Sino-Japanese roots meaning "military-apportioned [fan]", were a specialized form of fan used by samurai officers in Japan to communicate commands to their troops. Unlike regular fans, gunbai were solid, not folding, and usually made of wood, wood covered with metal, or solid metal. A sumo gyōji wielding a gunbai
Hachimaki are typically made of cotton, sometimes featuring a printed design. In Japanese media, it is used as a trope to show the courage of the wearer, symbolising the effort put into their strife, and in kabuki, when appearing as a purple headband tied to the left, it can symbolise a character sick with love.

Tessenjutsu (Japanese: 鉄扇術, lit. 'iron fan technique') is the martial art of the Japanese war fan (tessen). It is based on the use of the solid iron fan or the folding iron fan, which usually had eight or ten wood or iron ribs. The use of the war fan in combat is mentioned in early Japanese legends.
Gifu Uchiwa are strong fans entirely handmade from washi (Japanese paper) and bamboo. The covers for the fans are made using Mino washi, while the base structure is made in more fine a detail than the fans made in Marugame and Kyoto. There are over 20 individual steps required to make one fan.
