Description

The listing, Vintage Japanese Hagoita Geisha Paddle Fan has ended.

This is a beautiful Japanese hagoita dance fan or paddle, in the form of a Geisha doll, designed so that it can be used as a wall hanging. It is made from wood, with a velvet handle, has been beautifully hand painted and decorated with ribbon and braid, and dressed in a traditional kimono made from gorgeous silk and brocade fabrics. This item has been displayed and shows minor signs of being displayed and a few moth holes on the velvet handle. It is vintage probably from around the 1960's.

The fan measures 18" long x 5 1/2" wide

I found at an estate sale and I had all Japanese decorations. I just recently changed everything. This is the last as I always liked it. It is quite nice.
