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. 

Take a miniature journey through Japan with this clever reversible folding fan, featuring a densely detailed Tokyo metro and rail map spread across one side in colorful transit lines and station names. The reverse shifts into a softer travel-poster mood, illustrated with destination motifs including Tokyo Tower, Kaminarimon, the Imperial Palace, Yokohama Bay Bridge, and Tokyo Disneyland.  This is a nostalgic souvenir from a fast-moving city adventure.

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.
