Description: This fan print was produced in the pre-war period, and the artist, publisher, and production method are unknown (probably machine printing). Since many fan prints are consumable and do not remain usually, such prints may be valuable even if they have stains, misregistrations, or other damages.

The composition is interesting in its use of space, with the woman looking out the window in the upper right corner and the rest of the image left blank. The woman may be on duty, seeing off a customer, or just cooling off by the window. The bright red color of the fan in this fan print is particularly eye-catching.

This print has some foxing spots and creases. Also, there is a pinhole at the top right corner, soil at the lower left edge, and a few small slits at the bottom edge.
