Japanese Vintage Uchiwa Fans with Red Lotus - sold individually Peruvian bowls with faces showing a few small scratches/cracksI'd guess the red lotus design on this pair of vintage Japanese Uchiwa fans is a logo of some sort that corresponds with the name of a business on the back if only I could read Japanese! My guess might be an airline, but perhaps a restaurant whatever the case, I think they are pretty lovely things, I'd guess 1950s 60s, and would be inclined to tie a red ribbon around the handles and hang them on the wall. Both are of the same design lotus on the front
