Japanese Pop Up Fans

Western Key Club x Japanese Paper Pop Up Fans By Nicholas Dinh | Western Key Club

The Western Key Club x Japanese Club: Japanese Paper Pop Up Fans was an event held throughout the month of November with the collaboration between KC and JPN club here at Western. This collaboration called for the creation of Pop Up Fans which are quite popular in Japanese cultures. As a way to celebrate and recognize Japanese tradition, Western KC paired up with the cultural club to bring an exciting and fun service project with a splash of creativity. This event led to wonderful designs and fans of all shapes and sizes which truly did Japanese culture right by showcasing all of its beauty.

This project was fun and simple by having tutorials online to help the volunteer in making the fan. At first I found it slightly difficult but after the first one I was able to do it naturally. I was able to customize the fan to my liking by using markers, stickers, and other decorations to help add to the beauty of the fan. It looked wonderful on my desk and I’m proud to say it was a mission accomplished.

I recommend these collaborations be held often as key club though a service club is also a club that involves inclusiveness. It involves helping others in different ways and forms. By introducing and working closely with other clubs, it helps bring a sense of unity among those in that community.
