This fan features a classical four-character Chinese poem, brushed onto it with consummate skill and feeling by the artist Ransui Yakata of Tokyo.
Perhaps less a "poem" in the traditional Western sense, Chinese poems of this type are more "word paintings" - this one depicting a "mind at rest under a breeze that blows" - perfect sentiments for using it to stay cool in summer, or for decorating that special wall or corner with this statement of serenity.
