This is a short, short-length folding fan. It's made of fabric with a subdued, light blue base color and a pattern of Japanese bush clover in a pale color. It is not hand-painted. Length: just under 21cm = 7 sun Short-length fans are said to create a soft breeze due to the flexibility of the bamboo ribs, as the middle ribs are longer. The number of ribs, 40, is more than usual, making it a high-quality product. The main ribs are glossy and smooth, and when closed, they tightly hold the fan surface from both sides, creating a beautiful shape. The surface of the middle ribs when closed is smooth on both sides, and you can see that each one is carefully finished to the sides. The metal fitting at the pivot is silver-colored with a small flower and a ring for a tassel, and the construction is elaborate. New, unused, stored at home. I have confirmed that it opens and closes smoothly. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection.
