Kyoto folding fan from Hakuchikudo featuring poems of the Thirty-Six Immortals: Poems by Taira no Kanemori and Ono no Komachi. A refined and elegant fan. Opened for the first time for photography. Comes with the original box and instruction manual. Includes an English explanation. The waka poem by Ariwara no Narihira, "Is it not the moon? Is it not the spring of old? Though the moon and spring are the same, I alone am not what I used to be," and its modern Japanese translation (Even though the moonlight and spring scenery are the same as before, only my circumstances have completely changed from the past) are introduced. The waka poem by Ono no Komachi, "The colors of the flowers have faded away, alas, while I was lost in thought, letting the years pass in vain," and its modern Japanese translation (The flowers have faded. My own body is also aging uselessly while I was lost in thought) are written. The illustrations are attributed to Kano Tanyu, and the text is attributed to Asukai Masaaki. Will be carefully packaged and shipped. Thank you.
