Description Old fashioned large size Japanese folding fan (sensu). Oversize fans such as this are typically used in Japan as theatre props as well as by performers of the traditional dance called Nihon Buyo. This wonderful old performance fan is made of thin bamboo tines covered with hard Japanese paper. The fan is in fair condition though the paper is a bit frayed at the edges and creases with some wrinkles and wears a darkened patina of age. This fan is less than 40 years old and does not include a display stand.
