This 8-sun (approx. 24cm) folding fan is perfect for those with small hands or children. The ribs are black lacquered. A rare fan with a pattern in the 8-sun size. 8-sun dance fans are uncommon these days, so we highly recommend this fan for children or those looking for a slightly smaller folding fan! This is a beautiful item that can be recommended to anyone with peace of mind. However, during reinforcement with thread, the paper sustained a slight scratch, resulting in a finish where the appearance of the thread on one side is slightly more noticeable than usual (see 10th image). It does not affect usability, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Perfect for practice or stage performances! It will be shipped without a box, but if you would like a new dance fan box, please comment before purchasing, and we will ship it in a dance fan box for an additional 200 yen. It will be shipped anonymously with measures to prevent moisture damage. We have thoroughly checked the paper's opening, creasing (when the paper folds inward when closing, making it difficult to close properly), thread tension on the main ribs, and any lifting of the paper, so please consider purchasing with confidence. * Neither I nor my family smoke. * We do not own pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at our product among many others. We look forward to your business. #DanceFan #FoldingFan #JapaneseDance #Practice #Stage #Kimono #Gift #Dancing #Prop #Actor #Entertainer #Dance #GiftItem #DanceFan #Karaoke #NihonBuyo #PopularTheater #GeneralGoods #MothersDay #FathersDay #Birthday #Fan #Souvenir #NewDance #Kabuki #ComingOfAgeCeremony
