The Miyako Uchiwa is a traditional Kyoto fan that has been used in imperial palaces and court ceremonies. It features a "sashi-gara" construction, in which the fan face and handle are made separately, and the design is attached after thin bamboo ribs are arranged radially.
Lush green leaves and vibrant red maple leaves, along with two goldfish facing each other, create a scene that evokes the changing seasons, rendered with the unique expression of gold foil stamping.
