Shipping will be unavailable from June 21st to 25th. This item belonged to my mother, who was a master of the Hanayagi school of dance. It is a beautiful folding fan with a silver base and shimmering gold and mother-of-pearl-like patterns. The ribs are a glossy black. I will ship it either wrapped in bubble wrap or in a box. I believe it is in beautiful condition with hardly any signs of use, but it has been stored for a long time. Please understand that this is a used item. Those seeking perfection should refrain from purchasing. Thank you for looking. #StageProps #HanayagiSchool #JapaneseDance
