This listing is for a vintage Japanese folding fan (sensu in Japanese). See videos below on how the paper version of these fans are made - it's quite an elaborate and precise process. 

This Japanese folding fan features repeating bamboo motifs printed inside colorful circular medallions across a soft cream background. Bamboo is a long-standing symbol of resilience, flexibility, and prosperity in Japanese art, while the layered circle pattern gives the fan a playful mid-century graphic feel.

These vintage Japanese fans are wonderful as wall accents or used as props in dance, photography, or ceremony. Beautiful for home or office display or as a thoughtful gift.

The wooden display holder is not included but these are available from many other shops online.
