This 8-sun (approx. 24cm) folding fan is perfect for those with small hands or children. The ribs are black lacquered. A beautiful mai-sensu (dancing fan) with a popular vermilion gradient. 8-sun mai-sensu are rare these days, so we highly recommend this for children or those looking for a slightly smaller fan! It is in beautiful condition and can be confidently recommended to anyone. However, when the holes were made in the ribs, one hole for reinforcing with thread was not made before the top hole was created. Of course, this does not affect its use in any way, but considering it a flawed item (from my perspective), I am offering it at a special price, even though it is a completely unused item that has never been used since I received it from the craftsman. Please use it for practice or performances! It will be shipped without a box. If you would like a new box for the mai-sensu, please comment before purchasing, and I will ship it in a mai-sensu box for an additional 200 yen. It will be sent via anonymous shipping with measures to prevent moisture damage, etc. ♪ I have checked everything here, such as the paper's opening condition, whether there are any creases (when closing, the paper folds inward and doesn't close properly), whether the thread on the main ribs is taut, and whether there are any lifted areas of paper, so please consider purchasing with confidence. ◯ Neither I nor my family smoke. ◯ We do not own any pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my item among so many others. I look forward to your consideration.
