Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Such Confucian maxims on the harmony of the universe and the correct way to behave in society would have been popularly accepted in both China and Japan in the seventeenth century. Fan designs were appreciated in Japan where they appear on ceramics, lacquer and textiles. The rim border may be found on ajar with a dated mark of 1621 in the British Museum (see BM Franks.807).
