We suspect this was a gift fan, made for display or perhaps for a performance?

Heavy paper, wide plats but fewer of them in this unusual fan.  Larger sized.

Festive hand painted imagery that includes two figures representing samurai, we guess, and a stylized bird we often see in a family crest.

Signed on the back by the fan maker or the artist.
