Description
During the Meiji era, the importation of fans from advanced nations was the major factor behind the rise in the popularity of fans for home use. However, in contrast to the sizable demand for ceiling fans in Europe and America, the Japanese much preferred the desk fan and so design development concentrated on this style of fan. The high skill level of Japanese craftsmen meant that newly imported techniques for fan production were quickly absorbed and utilized in domestic production. During Taisho era, the involvement of large companies in production resulted in a proliferation of advertising for these products, and four basic characteristics of fan design emerged, namely; a black color scheme, a four-blade propeller, a guard and a fan head rotation function. The high price of fans resulted in the fan becoming a status symbol.
