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.

Rich with warmth and celebration, this vintage Japanese folding fan unfolds in a radiant display of red, gold, and seasonal blooms. Hand-painted camellias and ripe persimmons mingle across pleated panels of metallic gold clouds, their colors symbolizing prosperity, wisdom, and enduring beauty. The layered designs glows with depth and motion, reflecting the skill of traditional Kyoto fan artistry. 

These vintage Japanese fans are wonderful as a wall accent or used as props in dance, photography, or ceremony. Beautiful for home or office display or as a thoughtful gift.
