How I can know if my folding fan is Japanese or Chinese? Is it true?

I recently bought a folding fan, even in the box, from a thrift store. The box itself has a label on the front and one on the side, but the characters are one of the oriental languages. So do not I can read them. Once fully opened, the scene in the fan itself is two or koi carp (I'm not sure), and there is what appears to be a sort of marking to in it, with some characters written by her side. Scene is beautifully done, whether printed or painted. There are 19 ribs, including ribs wider at each end, which are accounted bamboo, and are painted or varnished dark beautiful. I can not say whether or not it is an authentic handmade piece, or if you remember that his execution of the plant mass tourism. I wonder whether or not it is authentic, and perhaps whether or not it is an antique. Thank you!

It might be useful to carry a local restaurant, Chinese or Japanese to see if people can read characters. Knowing the language if it is and if they are real people who should be the guide in one direction. Go to available the largest library and see if you can find pictures of the fans like yours. (Make copies and those that are similar and the notes of the book and the author.) If there is a museum with a Department Asia in your city or nearby, you may wonder if a conservative would be willing to look at pictures or give you a real fan information. (You can refine your search.) They may not be ready (or can be predicted by the policy of the museums), but if the case should be prepared to point you in the direction of someone familiar with Asian fans.
