Image description

The Korean war fan was a Korean martial arts weapon that originated in the Joseon Dynasty of Korea.

They became most popular among the chungin (middle class) and yangban (upper class); Craftsmen discovered a way of taking the "pak dahl" wood, an extremely resilient birch tree that thrived in the ice storms and harsh seasons of Korea's mountainous peninsula, and tempering it to a hardness that could resist the edged weapons typical of the era;
