Description

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 folding fan features a charming inu hariko motif, the traditional Japanese papier-mâché dog associated with protection, healthy children, safe childbirth, and household good fortune. Soft ivory tones and subtle painted details give the piece a gentle folk-art feel. The original paper sleeve includes auspicious kanji referencing luck and prosperity, suggesting it was sold or gifted as a festive keepsake or blessing item.

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.
