With the exception of the hideously overpriced Totoro one, they're all from the same seller, one I've dealt with succesfully in the past. Low starting bids, inexpensive shipping. Auctions end in about 6 hours.

OK, so I posted it in all the places I thought people might be interested and hardly anyone seemed to be bidding on the fans kyoto.antiques had up on eBay this afternoon. So I bid on four of them.

I won the Japanese American Centennial fan. Not period-appropriate, but cool in its own right.
I won the one with the subtle gold cloud pattern.  I really, REALLY like this one. Very period and elegant.
I won the one with Daruma.  Because who doesn't love Daruma. (OK, the squeesha wannabes, maybe.)
I won the bell flower kawahori.  Another period-appropriate style.

I made out like a bandit, probably because I passed on the ones most likely to appeal to buyers who want fancier dance fans. I will have made out like even more of a bandit if the seller will combine shipping.

Kinda makes up for sinus headaches and having gotten part way through attaching a collar on one of the commission kosode before I noticed it was wrong side out.
