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

Simple and elegant, this cream folding fan is accented with a small purple paulownia motif, creating a clean, understated design. The paulownia (kiri) is a traditional Japanese symbol of nobility, resilience, and good fortune, while the hand-applied graphic and artisan's stamp on the reverse add a thoughtful finishing touch. Paired with natural-toned bamboo ribs and black guards.

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.
