It's just an ordinary, if large, paper fan -- accordion-pleated white paper, taped at one end to form a handle, but some characters wield them the way others do the dreaded HyperspaceMallet, and get much the same results -- the unfortunate target usually goes rolling down the street from the force of the blow.

Sometimes used as a symbol of dubious authority, the paper fan (or ''harisen'' in Japanese) has roots in the Japanese equivalent of vaudeville comedy, particularly of the slapstick variety -- and like an actual [[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/slapstick slap stick]] it makes a lot of noise with little real hurt. It is the tool of a ''tsukkomi'', or "{{straight man}}", of a standard two-man comedy team in [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine a kind of routine]] common to the Kansai region called ''[[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine manzai]]''; it's used to upbraid the other member of the team (the buffoonish ''boke'') when he says or does something foolish. Naturally, this has been carried right over into anime and, being a tradition stemming from the Kansai region, it should be noted that, usually, either the wielder or the target are TheIdiotFromOsaka.
