The Secret to Rainproof Wagasa
The secret that makes Japanese umbrellas (Wagasa) strongly repellent to rain is an essential process called "aburabiki"—the traditional method of applying natural oil to the umbrella paper.
After the oil is applied, the umbrellas are placed on the rooftop to dry thoroughly in the sunlight.
On days when the weather is good and there is a pleasant breeze, a wide array of colorful umbrellas is lined up, creating a truly beautiful sight.
To ensure that everyone can use and cherish them for a long time, our artisans will continue to handcraft each one with all their heart!
