Is this a Japanese or Chinese fan? Can anyone help with the artist/period made?

Here's the link to my photos...

Usually I can tell just by the subject matter as Japanese paintings during the Meiji era tend to be more naturalistic.

However, I have found some Chinese fans by REN YI (1840-1896) sold by Sothebys that look similar in style, but the images are not large enough to see the detail really matches or not.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
