Antique Japanese Samurai "War Fan"
NEW YEARS SALE

Regular price: $1850

Sale price: $1350

Age: Edo Period.

Remarks: The Samurai considered the folding fan an important accessory. Normally it was carried in the hands or tucked in an obi. These fans were used by high ranking Samurai Commanders to communicate commands over distance on the battlefield. A classic design that features a red sun motif on a gold background on one side of the fan and the gold moon motif on a red background on the reverse. Overall this piece is in very good condition with some small holes. The end pieces are lacquered with a gold family crest. This will make a great addition to any Samurai display.
