Ibasen version of the fan painting

Ukiyoe reproductions of fan paintings from the Ibasen print

Ukiyo-e is one of the styles of Ukiyo-e painted in the Edo period. Ukiyo-e was used as a fan by cutting off the excess parts of the ukiyo-e on a bamboo bone. Ukiyo-e has a high value as a painting, and was loved by the people of Edo as a decorative item.

Ibasen offers a wide variety of ukiyoe fans, including landscapes and beautiful women's paintings, as the publishers of such still-loved ukiyoe artists as Utagawa Toyokuni I, Kunitayoho, and Hiroshige.
