[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4147143, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous, but no, not Japanese. The style is European, and so is the construction. Japanese fans have very recognizable, slightly curved guard sticks (the outside sticks), and they don't have those European style loops. So it is a beautiful European fan, could even be American.;) The US also had (immigrant) fan makers, who worked in a European style. Since it is hand painted, it would be one of a kind.
