War fans (tessen) were made to make signals on the battlefield and with their iron ribs also served as weapons. The outer spokes are made of heavy plates of iron which were designed to look like normal, harmless folding fans or solid clubs shaped to look like a closed fan. Samurai could take these to places where swords or other overt weapons were not allowed, and some swordsmanship schools included training in the use of the tessen as a weapon. The tessen was also used for fending off knives and darts, as a throwing weapon, and as an aid in swimming.

Auction comparison:
Compare a closely related iron command fan, dated 18th-19th century, 49.8 cm wide, at Christie’s, Japanese and Korean Art, 17 September 2024, New York, lot 195 (sold for USD 5,292).
