Buchae, a Korean traditional fan made of bamboo and hanji, is more than just for cooling and blocking the sun. Our ancestors used to draw or write a poem on the fan as a decorative item. The king in Goryeo dynasty, would present people with special Dano fans made by artisans. Buchae was often gifted symbolizing ones gratitude, and now you can continue this tradition for those you appreciate.
