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. 

Clean and understated, this Japanese folding fan features scattered and softly layered squares in indigo, pale blue, and charcoal tones against warm cream paper. The design blends modernist composition with traditional restraint, using negative space and repeating shapes to create a calm, balanced rhythm often associated with harmony and thoughtful simplicity in Japanese design.

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..
