Vintage Kyoto ‘Maiogi’ Folding Dance Fan Gold with Green Streak Design: Feb18I
This exclusive, vintage Maiogi Dance Fan was made by
Kyosendo
京扇堂,
one of Kyoto’s renown fan makers
.
It is a striking, shimmery gold with a subtle green streak
.
The struts are glossy black lacquered bamboo with lead weights. This would be lovely for dance practice or just for
display.
It came from a collection of vintage fans we have
acquired that are all of superior quality and design and were clearly owned by someone of discerning taste
, who was associated with the famous Japanese Buyo Dance company
藤扇流
Fujisen-Ryu of Meguro, Tokyo
. Most seem to have been made in the 1970’s to 1980’s
. T
his fan is in perfect unsued condition with no fraying or bent corners and appears never to have been used
. It comes in its original box
.
The first two photos show the front and back. It measures about 20” or 51cm across when open and is about 11½” or 29cm long when closed.
