This belonged to my mother, who was a master of the Hanayagi school of dance. It is not made of paper. The material is a glossy, slightly stiff, and durable material. It was probably used on stage. It was rolled up, so it's curled. I will fold it flat for shipping. It is in beautiful condition, but it has been stored for a long time. Please understand that this is a used item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. Thank you for looking.
