Marjorie Leighey's Japanese Fan
This Uchiwa fan belonged to Marjorie Leighey, the second resident of Pope-Leighey House. Around 1964-1969, Marjorie taught English at a girl's school in Kyoto, Japan. It was during her time there that she acquired this fan. The text displayed on the fan suggests that it may have been promotional material for a store in the city of Odate in the Akita prefecture.
