Japanese traditional culture ~29~ paper fan (Uchiwa うちわ)

  I wonder if there are paper fan like this in foreign country...
This is stuff, called uchiwa is essential to summer life.
But most of the buildings have an air conditioners so you don't need to
keep this uchiwa with you.
 

 These bars are called "senkou". Buddhist usually offer these senkou to
the spirits if front of the grave. The smell of the smoke is unique.
The smell reminds me the Bon season.

  I found this blog counted 10000 viewers. I keep writing this blog
from October last year. About 60 countries' people have checked this blog before.
Thank you so much. I want to know what kind of things you want me to write
about Japanese culture on this blog...
