"Decorated Fan for the New Year" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Ryūryūkyo Shinsai (1799–1823). The print features a detailed depiction of a folded fan, with a delicate design of a bird flying among stylized clouds and blossoming branches. The fan is decorated with auspicious motifs that are commonly associated with New Year celebrations in Japanese culture. This print is a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship of Japanese woodblock prints from the 19th century. The image is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York.
