Hime Wagasa – A Symbol of Protection and Good Fortune

❮ ❯

[Yakuyoke — Warding Off Misfortune]

A hime wagasa in vividly colored washi paper.
Displayed at your entrance, this small work of craft
welcomes you home with memories of Kyoto's scenery and festivals.

Like the chimaki charms of the Gion Festival,
the wagasa also carries the meaning of yakuyoke — protection from misfortune.
Handcrafted in a small size by Tsujikura, the hime wagasa is perfect
for displaying at home, or as a protective gift for someone dear.
