Vintage Japanese Fan Sensu Mai Ogi 10.5\" Sakura Cherry Blossom Gold Washi Paper For Sale

A traditional piece of Japanese folding art. Strictly reserved for connoisseurs of Asian antiquities and fine decorators.
​Buyer Warning:
If you are looking for a cheap, mass-produced plastic fan to toss in your purse or take to the beach, please do not purchase this item. This is a delicate display piece crafted from paper and bamboo, aimed exclusively at serious collectors who understand the care required for traditional Japanese art.
​The Reality of the Piece:
In the vintage market, paper folding fans almost always surface with torn creases, water stains, or splintered bamboo ribs. Finding a large 11-inch Mai Ogi (dance/display fan) with crisp folds, vibrant colors, and its structural tension completely intact is a genuinely rare event.
​Visual and Structural Analysis:
​Display Format: Measures an imposing 10.5 inches long when closed. The ribs are carved from sturdy bamboo with a beautiful dark lacquered finish.
​The Front Art: Features a spectacular, fully bloomed Sakura (cherry blossom) tree. The background is a rich tapestry of brilliant gold foil style paper (Kinpaku), accented with traditional red clouds and green hills.
​The Reverse (Attention to Detail): The back maintains the elegance with traditional off-white Washi style paper, meticulously scattered with gold flakes.
​If you are the purist who values the symmetry, history, and flawless condition of vintage Asian art, secure this piece today before another collector does.
