From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

Nakamura Hōchū painted waves on this handheld fan to bring coolness to the mind of its bearer. While fragile paper fans are often used for a single season, this one was cherished for its design. Someone carefully removed it from its folding apparatus and converted it into a hanging scroll for occasional enjoyment in an alcove. Nakamura Hōchū took inspiration for his work from the painter Ogata Kōrin.
