Japanese Folding Fan in Box with Stand Traditional Sensu Vtg Original from Japan

Description: This beautiful traditional Japanese folding fan is called a sensu. Made with hand-painted gold foil paper which is secured onto a black lacquered bamboo frame with a light-colored thread, the fan has a reversible multicolor design featuring pretty plum blossoms on a gold foil sky on one side and on a silver sky on the other side. It comes with its bamboo folding stand, making it easy to display and use. Includes its original decorative presentation box, which is covered in silver foil and red textured paper. Traditional fans such as this are part of the rich culture and exquisite craftsmanship of the Japanese people. Sensu folding fans originated in Japan around the ninth century, and were a type of fan that could be folded up and carried easily. They were initially used by men in the imperial court. Women in the court began using them too, leading to them becoming more of a decorative accessory. People would draw pictures or write poems on them, appreciating them as art. Used to create a cooling breeze, they are most often seen in summer, as a stylish accessory when wearing a kimono for traditional Japanese dance, tea ceremonies, weddings, fireworks displays, and summer festivals. These beautiful handmade works of art can also be used as an elegant addition to home decor. Size of fan when opened: 50cm wide x 29cm tall/ 19" wide x 11.5" tallCondition: Fan is in excellent preowned condition with no flaws noted. Box and stand are likewise in excellent preowned condition. There is an address label affixed to the inside of the box lid. The fan was acquired in 1984 when it was sent to me as a gift from Japan by my Japanese penpal. It has been kept safely stored in its box since then, removing it only occasionally to admire it. Now it is time for someone else to enjoy its beauty! Thank you for visiting my eBay store!
