Suzhou, China, is famous as a production center for sandalwood fans. There, sandalwood fans are often sold as souvenirs. However, because sandalwood is highly rare, it tends to be difficult to obtain. 

Sandalwood is highly prized as a rare and luxurious aromatic wood. This is because it takes more than several decades for a sandalwood tree to mature and begin emitting its fragrance.Other reasons include the difficulty of artificially cultivating sandalwood trees and the fact that it takes a long time for harvested wood to begin emitting its fragrance. Furthermore, India—the country of origin for sandalwood—imposes export restrictions, which also contributes to its scarcity.
