Up for sale is a beautiful mid-century Japanese folding fan (Sensu / Maiogi). This piece features black-to-cream gradient background with hand-painted white and yellow chrysanthemums paired with green foliage.
Crafted with a traditional split-bamboo frame, the fan includes a thick, natural fiber accent cord woven near the base guards and a matching hanging tassel at the pivot.
**Condition:**
In good, functional vintage condition with wonderful character. Shows honest signs of age, including edge wear, minor separation/fraying on the paper folds at the tips, and faint surface scuffing/toning on the light paper sections. The bamboo ribs open smoothly and the structure is secure. Perfect for display, a theatrical prop, or adding to an Asian art collection.
Please review all photos for a closer look at the hand-painted detailing and specific condition areas.
