A magical [[hand fan]] made of feathers, commonly possessed by [[Tengu]]. Hauchiwa may resemble a maple leaf, but they are not actually made of leaves. In folk tales, these fans sometimes have the ability to grow or shrink a person's nose, but usually they are attributed the power to stir up great winds. [[Shameimaru Aya]] from [[Touhou]] is one of the more notable hauchiwa-possessing characters, and is frequently depicted with one. While hauchiwa typically have a vaguely leaf-like appearance anyway, Aya's resembles a [[maple leaf]] (down to its coloring and use of fewer feathers in order to specifically achieve a leaf-like shape). Do not tag hauchiwa with [[leaf fan]], as the former is not made out of leaves, despite some hauchiwa having superficially similar appearance to a maple leaf. Some Tengu characters may carry an actual [[leaf fan]] instead of a hauchiwa, e.g. [[Kurama (urusei_yatsura)|]] from [[Urusei Yatsura]]. Tag these examples as [[leaf fan]] instead of [[hauchiwa]], as they are not made out of feathers. h4. External links Updated by bot Sun, Sep 18 '22, 02:55 |
