Mai-ogi (Dancing Fan), Sensu (Folding Fan), Japanese Fan, Japanese Accessories Mai-ogi (dancing fan), a prop essential for dance forms such as Kabuki, Japanese traditional dance, Kayō Buyō (new dance), and folk dance. Mai-ogi are used in dance movements on stage, such as throwing the fan or performing "kaname-gaeshi" (spinning the fan with a finger), so lead weights are embedded in the ribs near the pivot. To increase durability, the ribs and the fan surface are glued together and reinforced with thread. Mai-ogi are made to last, with some people using the same fan for training for 20 or 30 years. Overall, it is in good condition, but there is some deterioration and discoloration due to its age. It comes with a box, but the box has some discoloration. This fan was purchased about 30 years ago. Compared to everyday fans, these are often more ornate, but I feel that this item has a beautiful, not overly flashy color scheme. It would be suitable for display or use. It was only used a few times for Japanese dance lessons in the past, but Please understand that it has been stored at home. We look forward to your purchase. Upon inspection of the current condition, There are no major stains or damage, but There may be unnoticed minor scratches or stains. (Please check the photos) Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive. Mercari delivery We will ship via anonymous delivery.
