This is a Japanese vintage paper fan or Uchiwa. Uchiwa is a traditional fan tool typically made of wood or bamboo and paper in a flat paddle-like shape. This particular fan is called a sesson uchiwa, a uniquely shaped fan with a wide, flat bottom and a thick handle. Its frame is completely bamboo and has washi paper carefully pressed onto it featuring the famous kobuntei aristocratic villa located in Ibaraki Prefecture. It is famed for its lush gardens and beautifully painted wall screens inside. This type of fan was made popular in the Muromachi Period and is still handcrafted to this day.
