This charming little child's fan is made of a split bamboo stick onto which is affixed a lightweight, cardboard fan.  

Rendered in pink, blue, yellow, red, black and green, the fan depicts a little Japanese girl in a polka dot dress gazing up a three blue owls perched on a cartoon-like tree branch, against a pink sky.  Just delightful.

Extremely lightweight, this little thing is in good condition, with no flaws with exception of the usual show of age.
