I bought this at a Yokohama department store about two years ago. The purchase price was around 10,000 yen. I hardly used it, and it's been stored in a drawer. So, the fan itself is in very good condition. I think the translucent pale blue-gray and the brown of the elegant fan ribs create a high-quality atmosphere. The explanation was that the short fan surface and long, numerous ribs are due to the flexibility of the bamboo, which is a sign of quality. The braided cord tassel is also a lovely accent. The case is a pale, patterned light blue, but it shows some signs of aging. It could be slipped into a bag to add a touch of adult elegance. Thank you. #FoldingFan #CoolFeeling #Japanese
