Ladies' Flamenco Fan, a decorative fan from Izawaya, a long-established Kyoto Gion store specializing in Japanese accessories. A valuable handmade fan, 22x40cm. This item is a perfect souvenir for overseas visitors. This item was used by my wife. The condition is very good. If you are a flamenco dancer, you will love it... The picture of a bullfighter and a woman is very beautiful. About Izawaya, a long-established Kyoto Gion store specializing in Japanese accessories: Izawaya was founded in 1865 (Keio 1), by "Seibei the First" who opened his shop in Gion, Kyoto, a lively area during the end of the Edo period. For about 150 years, Izawaya has been in business. During the Meiji era, "Komonomoya" (small goods store) was synonymous with "Izawaya of Kyoto," and the store was famous throughout the country, walking alongside Gion, Kyoto women, and kimono culture. Even now, the store is blessed with its location in Gion, a representative geisha district, and is loved by people from all over the country. Also, because the store is located in front of Minamiza, the birthplace of Kabuki, it is particularly favored by people in the theatrical world. Pursuing the beauty of Japanese accessories that are indispensable for kimonos, their fans are very valuable items. The fans of Kyoto Gion represent the women's etiquette of "preparing oneself with a fresh feeling every day," and Izawaya's fans are precious items. This is a valuable fan that I received some time ago. Although there is no aging deterioration on the fan itself, the storage box shows some aging deterioration, so please understand. I am offering it to someone who wants it as part of my decluttering.
