palm-leaf fan
A fan made from a palm leaf, especially the leaf of the Japanese banana plant (芭蕉). Often associated with the mythical fan used by Princess Iron Fan in Journey to the West.
The palm-leaf fan is one of the treasures that appear in Journey to the West.
I cooled off by waving a palm-leaf fan at the summer festival.
From 芭蕉 (bashō, 'Japanese banana plant') + 扇 (sen, 'fan'). The term is strongly associated with the magical fan used by Princess Iron Fan in the Chinese classic Journey to the West.
