    A lovely testimony to post-war Japan, this advertising fan depicts a radiant young woman in light hiking attire, a drink flask hanging from her shoulder, and white lilies in the background. An emblematic image of the Japanese modern dream, optimistic, energetic, and very representative of the 1950s aesthetic.
    The back of the fan features an advertisement for a traditional clothing store located in Hiroshima Prefecture:

    暑中お伺い
    呉服店
    下山呉服店
    碑原町清原
    電孫五六番

    Our summer greetings – Shimoyama Traditional Clothing Store – located in Kiyohara, Hihara-chō, telephone no. 56

    🦝Our opinion:

    A beautiful and charming object, at the crossroads of folk art and the retro advertising typical of 1950s Japan that we love!
