The Craftsmanship of Tsujikura, Woven into Japanese Washi Paper

People from overseas who are interested in Japanese umbrellas often ask us, ”Can you really use a washi umbrella on a rainy day?”
Since ancient times, washi paper has been coated with multiple layers of plant-based oil such as flaxseed oil and other substances
to make it waterproof and more durable for everyday use on rainy days.
Tsujikura has carried on the techniques of our predecessors for over 300 years and continues to refine our craft so that washi—which
retains both its strength and beauty—can remain a part of our daily lives. We hope you’ll enjoy the delicate beauty of our traditional Japanese umbrellas, a quality you won’t find in chemically treated products.
