Tessen - 鉄扇 (The Japanese fans):
The deadliest weapons
Strange to be included on a page about weapons, but the Japanese fans were used as weapons.
The warriors carried Japanese fans tucked in their belts.
Of course it was not the innocent paper Japanese fans. It was a weapon in disguise.
Their special type of fan was called Tessen. A Tessen was a fan made out of solid steel.
The dummy fan was actually one of the most brutal Samurai weapons.
The Japanese warriors would use it in a variety of 'creative' ways–throwing at someone, beating people or stubbing them.
These fans came in very handy when entering places were weapons were not permitted.
