Monotone Japanese fan with unadorned bamboo ribs visible on the lower third of the fan, that extend about three inches upward from where the ribs are held together by a circular metal fastener. Light beige, matted paper covers the upper two-thirds of the ribs, bearing the shiny gold silhouette of a very large stork in the center with expansive petal-like tail feathers extending over several folds in the fan. Flecks of irregularly sized and shaped pieces of shiny gold or silver paper are scattered sparsely across the remainder of the beige background. A very narrow purple strip of color outlines the outer edge of the fan.  The back of the fan is essentially identical to the front except that the large silhouette of a stork is shinny silver rather than gold, and most of the irregularly shaped pieces scattered over the fan are silver, only a few gold.  The box which houses the fan is a simple long rectangular, light wooden container with a charcoal grey bottom and a flat rectangular cover. The top of the box has a small stamp, perhaps the trademark of the fan’s maker, a few inches from the left end, and on the right end, an inscription, that reads: “Fan: the Best Qualities Manufactured by J. T. TEIAMI at Miyeido Cojio Teramachi Kyoto,” followed by Kanji Symbols possibly repeating the message in Japanese.
