The WAY OF THE FAN… is much more than just… flapping your hands and fanning about. An ancient and noble lineage ties this Weapon to the origins and founding of Japan itself. At one time in History… this weapon form so blunted the SAMURAI SWORD… the Elites… banned it. No fan of the FAN there it seems. A VISUAL DEDICATION… with some of Shiro’s… pen scratchings too.
Introducing this WEAPONRY FORM gives Shiro
a chance to share much more than the
knowledge within Our World Legends.
Though unknown at the time,.. (click)
when Shiro began NINPO TRAINING in Adelaide
and Japan with SOKE Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi
and S. Ed Lomax and the BUJINKAN group
of Students and instructors therein;
THE FAN… was there too.
Twas there and here too,.. that Shiro has indeed become…
a fan of…
THE
WAY OF THE FAN.
This was vis THE ARTS OF TESSEN JUTSU (click).
Below… a recreation of Shiro’s… FIRST FAN.
THE FAN IN THE LEGENDS.
BUJINKAN NINPO is one of the few remaining. Martial
systems that. Incorporates THE FAN into it’s Teachings
and Traditions. A rather unique, yet classical WEAPONRY
FORM. That directly links Our World. LEGENDS OF ANCIENT
JAPAN with the Mysteries of the ARTS. OF WAR and divine God
beings too.
(This intel/info is in an upcoming article currently
being researched by Shiro.)
LEGENDARY HEROES,.. the likes of…
such as BENKEI, YOSHITSUNE, GANRYU, THE TENGU
and others all fanned their WAY OF THE FAN.
Our World Legends indeed,..
in deed and in fact… as well.
Though infinitely innocuous and useful for breezing…
a breeze of sorts-
THE FAN is a hand-held Weapon, full of pointed promise.
Size, shape and relatively sturdy construction make
it so easy…
and handy to handle.
An item that would not rate a second glance…
gives no quarter and… no second chances
indeed. Where space is confined it excels,
can be quickly and quietly adjusted to suit
circumstances and fits neatly…
almost everywhere and anywhere.
Slim design… like Shiro btw…
can simply be opened… to FAN THE WAY…
ANYWAY it seems.

GUNSEN WAR FAN FROM THE EDO PERIOD OF JAPAN. A COMBO OF IRON, BAMBOO AND LOTSA LACQUER IT SEEMS INDEED.
THE SLIDE-SHOW.
FANNING… ACT…IONS…
The FAN is also fully fanned out + flapped about too,
during the act of… ACTING actions indeed.
A subtle yet poignant set of entertainment can be
posited by actors who understand the movements
and intentions.
Can be used to hide… oneself…
to hide embarrassment too,.. to point out
and indicate, even to highlight villainry,
chivalry, sacrifice and more.
FAN… OF THE FAN WAY.
Versatile… + hand-held air-con to boot…
well…
to the face usually, actually.
THE WAY OF THE FAN.
LEGEND.
Our World Legends.
Shiro is a fan,..
are YOU;..
A FAN OF THE FAN… TOO.?.
Till next…
