[Product Condition and Usage History]
The back of the fan's ribs (wooden parts) are inscribed with Otsu L.C.C.N. 30th Anniversary.
I purchased this item used, and it appears to have been carefully stored for many years. While there are some wrinkles characteristic of Japanese paper, slight fraying due to age, and minor dirt, considering its age, both the paper and the ribs are in beautiful condition with no significant damage.
The Japanese paper has a calm, natural off-white color, which is believed to be its original hue.
The display stand is in good condition with no noticeable damage. The outer box, likely an old item, shows some signs of age such as minor dirt and scuffs.
Please note that condition assessment can be subjective. Kindly refer to the images for details and make your decision.

This decorative fan features a deeply evocative painting by Matsuyama Takahashi, a renowned successor of Otsu-e. Crafted with traditional Japanese paper and wooden ribs, it transforms any space into a serene Japanese atmosphere simply by being displayed. Its background as a 30th-anniversary commemorative item suggests meticulous craftsmanship. This is a one-of-a-kind piece, valuable as interior decor for Japanese-style rooms, alcoves, or as part of an Otsu-e collection.
