EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th-century Folding Fan (Gunsen) is a true work of art, showcasing intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. The handle is adorned with a mesmerizing Oriental Solar Disc and scrolling dragons, symbolizing power, strength, and protection in Japanese culture.
The combination of painted paper, steel, and silver inlay creates a visually striking piece that would have been both functional as a defensive weapon and decorative accessory for samurai warriors. The fan measures 32.4 cm in length, making it the perfect size for easy carrying during battle or ceremonial events.
The red circle at the center of the fan represents the sun, an important symbol in Japanese mythology and history. Known as "ressen," this motif is often associated with divine power and imperial authority.
Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK, this Folding Fan is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan. Its elegant design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of weaponry or fine art.
