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.

A study in simplicity, this vintage Japanese folding fan features fine black and gray brush strokes flowing diagonally across a pale cream background, evoking the graceful rhythm of reeds or ink on washi paper. The minimal design feels both modern and traditional.

There are signs of age as the edges and pleats are starting to show some wear, but still quite usable and unique.

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.
