The ribs and the fan surface are glued together and then further secured with thread for durability. It is used in Japanese traditional dance, new Japanese dance, folk dance, and Yosakoi, as well as for decorative purposes. The general size of a mai-sensu is nine sun and five bu (approximately 29cm). Thank you for viewing.
