This exquisite piece features a refined, glossy, calm blue paper with a slight green tint, depicting a majestic Mount Fuji, a powerful hawk, and a charming eggplant. The ribs of the fan are painted black, giving it a stylish impression. The reverse side has the same color as the paper but is plain, allowing for versatile use depending on the occasion. Fans are said to symbolize prosperity as they spread wider towards the end, representing growth and good fortune. They are appreciated as gifts for celebrations and expressions of gratitude. They are particularly popular for birthdays, milestone celebrations, and retirement gifts.
