These sorts of rigid paddle-shaped fans are called Uchiwa in Japanese; these are made of paper and bamboo, and I presume date from the 1950s or so. With their elegant graphics and terrific color palettes, they are really inspiring me add vintage Japanese fans to my ongoing collecting obsessions; I want to see a whole wall of them!
