Five Paths Prosperity Inscription Taoist Fan

Red calligraphy spreads across the pale fan leaf. When the fan opens, the ribs divide the large characters and finer inscriptions into radial panels.

Sold individually.

The Five Paths motif expresses a prosperity wish. Here it identifies the theme of the design, not a promise about the owner’s finances.

The Five Paths theme is associated with welcoming prosperity from different directions. It is a fitting inscription for a shop opening or a household gift when the intention is abundance and a flourishing livelihood.

The shape is easiest to compare by looking at the outer edge and the design near the handle. Distinguish a fan-shaped display piece from a usable folding fan; the outline alone does not establish that the object opens.
