@@user-wz4le9yx2n thank you I was so excited

I would like to thank you and Seki Sensei for covering the Tessen, war fans or iron fans have always been an interesting item to me, they could keep you cool as well as protect you.

I am very impressed. I had of course heard of the "war-fans" but I had dismissed them as an invention of story writers and manga artists. To learn what they actually look like and how they were used was very exciting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Spreading the word to everyone I know that is of sound mind and spirit you definitely deserve 1,000,000 + subscribers what you and Seki Sensei are doing is insurmountable the fact that he is allowing so many to be a part of Asayama ichden ryu..I can't even find the proper words in my language to express my gratitude

I have a wooden fan with a big tanto inside. The blade is from the 15 century and the wooden saya is later, probably 17 century

In the Sino fiction about Justice Bao, one of the 七俠五義 is known for his use of the iron fan. For his one, it's said the edge of the fan is capped with sharp pieces of metal, that can cut like a knife, when the fan is slashed at an opponent.

As an old saying goes: "Looks can be deceiving".....Fans doesn't look like a threat at all, but I can tell you this that it can be very useful, especially for atemi strike to the eye and so on and so forth. Excellent video series and hope to see Seki Sensei on-line course some day.

The distraction "atemi" with the tassel in Part 2 reminds me of the only "strike" my Aiki-Jitsu Sensei taught us. The only time he recommended hitting someone was as a distraction so that the greater technique would be more effective.

I’ve always loved the idea of fans used as weapons, ever since I played Kitana in Mortal Kombat. I never knew that they are also used in real life, and I’m happy that it’s possible! It look really great as self-defense and it’s nice to learn about the techniques used in there.

I was thinking a bit about that, the way samurai used to develop methods for turning every available resource as a weapon. In a way, such specialized thinking is akin to the Greek philosophers of old times, whose lives were also devoted only to taking an idea, concept or argument to its last consequences. My uttermost respect for those devoted to keep such traditions alive.

your videos with lots of historical details on lesser known weapons are great! i hope this channel continues to grow.

Wonderful videos. Love the history and viewing the different fans. Thank you!❤️

I love the educational format of part 1 and the example uses in part 2. Live this format

I am learning some very interesting stuff through your channel including about the existence of these.

I love these segments! Learning about ghe history and forgotten weaponry from the forgotten generations! So cool. Thank you sensei *low bows

Thank you for this video!

This is great I have always been interested in Tessen design and use.

great video!

Can't wait for part 2! I found a metal fan I want to add to my weapons collection and these videos help me to understand how they were actually used. Thank you Seki Sensei and Shogo for sharing!

I went to a Metallica concert and there were a lot of metal fans in the audience

Yay! I was hoping you would cover fans and how to use them for defense

Great job, you samuras.I love what you do.

this channel is a hidden gem

Thank you for the video. I'm suprised that some Tessen don't open up. Kind of seemed counter-productive to me, but turns out, that had some use too. As for questions: Are there any actual techniques that makes it look to the enemy as if you were going to attack from one point, when you will actually go for another point? Or is it just an idea that came from Anime? (Like fighting scenes using "after-images" or something similar)

Brilliant. Thank you. 👍🙏

Thank you to you too!!

Great video ! Would love to see more techniques or Waza with the tesson. And maybe how it was used against other weapons. Scott

That valuable historical tessen he has is amazing

This is a fantastic channel. Please give my warmest regards to Sensei.

Great video as always. I was wondering if small tedate shield will make an apparition on this channel. I have seen them still being practiced in some dojos but couldnt find more informations about them.

Very interesting. 🙏

1:09 "As you can see from his collection, Seki Sensei is a big FAN of Tessen." I see what you did there, Shogo-san.

After learning Tessen at my dojo I applied those teaching in carrying a large comb.

Thank you for this wonderful content. Where can one purchase a modern fan like those shown in the video ?

there is one iron fan in an anime titled Utawarerumono. this iron fan is completely made of steel and is also functions as a regular fan. does such iron fan exist and is it practical is combat?

Dear Sensei, dear Shogo, thank you for this great video! I would definitely like to learn more about tessen. Were they also used by ladies? Tgank you again .

Wow, can you talk more about how the tassel would get the attention of the deity. Probably it would be an entire separate video but could sensei talk about which deity they were followed for which ryu / tradition !Scott

I studied Asayama Ichiden Ryu under a man who had studied under Kai Kuniyuki Sensei. It is an amazing style, but now in Toronto, Canada, I have no teacher anymore for Asayama.

The Tessen are by far one of my favorite weapons. I see many katas preformed with different weapons. Are there any katas for the Tessen? I have only ever seen one hand fan performance at a tournament with metal fans with Chinese choligraphy. But I'm not sure what style they were from.

Wow, it must be amazing to train at a dojo with museum quality weapons.

Thanks

I'm sorry that my comment isn't relevant to this video, but can Sensei comment on how his swords are retained in his belt? In previous videos, it seems like he can very easily slide them in and out of his belt and I wonder if they could fall or lose their proper position easily if someone had to run, climb, tumble, etc. while wearing them in this way. Were there other ways of setting the swords in the belt for greater security? Thanks so much!

So this begs the question: would a samurai carry an additional bamboo/paper fan for cooling down in addition to the war fan? Because it seems the war fan would not be very good for cooling down, and I think that is still important. 😂

Hi Shogo, can you talk about the traditional stove iori? They look fo comfy and convenient to use. . . If they don't smoke up the room.

Most interesting aspect of Japanese history, little known of here in England!

Were the solid metal tessen designed to have the look but just be a sturdy extra tool in the arsenal of the samurai?

It should be mentioned that their man ussage was as a signaling device for generals, who would very rarely enage in combat (but famously did)

In Avatar the last Airbender, Avatar Kyoshi used fans as weapons. Kyoshi island , the place she came from was the most influenced japanese place in this universe! I love that Tessenjutsu was represented in this animes!

Now if only I could find a place to buy a Tessen.

これだけ並んでいると壮観ですね。

I will visit Tokyo soon. Is there any shop there that sells folded fans made of metal or strong wood?

Always wondered about the fans... guess im one of your biggest "fans" now...

I always wondered whether the ones that opened were used in combat. Apparently yes but got replaced with the solid wood or steel ones after a while is what I'm getting from this.

Flapping iron fans builds forearm strength.

in 0:43 it says Seki sensei is a shindo muso ryu's instructor

I love this channel. Always been interested in Japan and its history and art. Gentleman-warriors with style.

Only 72 views in 10 minutes for this quality of content 😏

the "war fan" has always intrigued me...most of my martial training has been in Chinese martial arts (tai chi) and there are many fan forms out there.

cool fans used in combat.

Hello Shogo! May I ask, what rank are you in Iaido? I hope you and Seki Sensei are in good health!

Such iron fan are perfect to make as lethal weapon too. The steel piece could make it sharp, and conceal with high quality paper. When your life get threatened, use the steel stick to pierce your enemy. Just hold it like Wolverines Claw. Deadly yet artistic.

Some skeumorphs out there

茶道具になっちゃうけど、茶刀なんかも一瞬の棒術的な武器にもなりますねー。

That's why I carry a fan and I'm not even Japanese.

Jooossss

Slimme mensen

I am a *fan* of samurai

SLAYER ! metal fans unite !

I adore iron fans! We have a set of two that are lovely, and (probably) lethal. I’ve only shown them to a few people - they’ve all cringed. 🫣😆
