A friend of my Dad traveled around the world in the '50's, and sent all sorts of photos and small items. My sister and I each have a fan from Japan Air Lines (gold letters on back of fan appear to spell it like that). Box says "Juni-Hitoe", indicating ceremonial robes of Japanese court ladies, mentioning Heian Period. (short version of writing).

I have had this since around 1956. Box has suffered greatly, but the fan is perfect. Have always meant to have it framed, though now I am glad I didn't. We have always thought they were given out as souvenirs of the flight. Would not be surprised if my love of Japanese art and fans in general came from this childhood treasure.
