About the Product

■Kyoto "Kurotani Washi" × Kyoto "Wagasa-ya Tsujikura"
A traditional craft preserved and nurtured through a long history. Kurotani Washi, from the papermaking village of Ayabe in Kyoto, is an exceptionally rare Japanese paper, each sheet entirely handmade by craftsmen. Known for its durability and longevity, it has been used for the restoration of cultural assets due to its ability to withstand long-term preservation. Tsujikura's skilled craftsmen have taken this rare Kurotani paper and meticulously crafted it into a Bangasa over a long period. We bring you this exquisite masterpiece from the collaboration of "Kyoto Kurotani Washi" and "Kyoto Wagasa-ya Tsujikura."

■Hiiro (Scarlet)
Since ancient times, scarlet (Hiiro) has symbolized celebration and sanctity. The clear red possesses both strength and warmth, capturing the heart at first glance. It becomes even more vivid in the sunlight and takes on a moist, deep hue in the shade. Draped in a dignified brilliance, this single umbrella adds prestige to any attire.

How to Use the Wagasa
When you walk carrying the closed umbrella, please grasp the head of the Wagasa, or for Janome please grasp the cord on the head, and for Bangasa please hold the leather strings bound around the head.

How to Open the Wagasa
The Wagasa may be difficult to open due to the waterproof grease on the Washi. Please lightly grasp the bottom of the runner at the bottom inside the umbrella, and slowly and carefully push to the top to open the Wagasa.
