Description

This listing is a vintage Japanese uchiwa fan, the style that was commonly used during warm months at festivals, tea gatherings, or everyday life, while also serving as decorative art.

Graceful and nostalgic, this uchiwa fan features a printed portrait of a traditional beauty with styled hair and a pale blue kimono, echoing the look of classic bijin-ga (beauty prints) popular in Japanese art.

The fan is constructed with a bamboo frame and paper face, typical of summer festival fans. The reverse side includes printed advertising for Mikasa Onsen in Nara, along with additional Japanese text referencing tourism and a phone number, suggesting it was originally produced as a travel or hot spring resort souvenir fan.

Minor edge wear, creasing, and light discoloration are present, consistent with age and use.
