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.

 

ANY FAN OF YOURS…

 

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.

 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.?.

 

 

GUNSEN… WAR FAN.

 

TESSEN… An IRON FAN. IWAKUNI CASTLE, JAPAN.

 

Till next…
