Natsu-sensu (夏扇子 - summer fan) have many small ribs and are larger, making them easy to open and fan yourself with in the summer heat. Cha-sensu (茶扇子 - tea fan) are smaller with fewer ribs and are typically kept closed when used by guests at a tea ceremony. Ornamental and dance fans often are larger but with even fewer ribs, meaning they are difficult to open but can stay open for display or throughout a dance routine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548320161836,"sku":"US-Z94","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/11YKPxk0OylTMkgug7JKZyA1o2VUlnZJn.jpg?v=1779029495","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/tea-fan-sekishu-ryu-cha-sensu","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
