Description

This sensu, or folding accordion fan, has wood guards that feature identical designs of mountains and a small pagoda. There are six bamboo ribs. The mounted paper has a sheen to it; one side is painted with an image of sakura (cherry blossoms) with young, reddish-brown leaves. On the reverse side, there are two sakura blossoms and a few loose petals scattered about.
