About the Item
A rare example of a traditional Japanese uchiwa fan, featuring a bold green and cream graphic composition. The rigid flat surface, crafted from bamboo spokes and paper overlay, retains rich character and visible signs of use, giving it a poetic and timeworn quality.
Originally used for cooling during summer festivals or daily life, this fan now serves as a collectible folk object or wall-mounted decorative piece, especially within a wabi-sabi or Japanese modern interior.
