This listing is 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. Dance fans are larger, wider, and sturdier than ones made for everyday use.

This refined Kyoto-style folding fan (Kyo-Sensu) captures a sense of balance and grace in its minimalist design. The paper shimmers with a soft silver sheen, bordered by a fine orange trim for a touch of warmth. Crafted by Iwasa Mokubei, a well-known Kyoto fan maker, it comes in its original box marked with the maker's seal and kanji meaning "dance fan". The design is the same on both sides.

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.
