How to Hold a Wagasa

Here is a simple tip on how to hold a wagasa so that you can enjoy it for many years to come.
Do you know how to properly carry a closed wagasa?
Unlike Western umbrellas, which are carried with the handle facing upward, a wagasa should be held from the end opposite the handle.
This helps prevent rainwater from collecting around the top, which can cause damage to the bamboo and washi paper.
A little care in how you handle your wagasa can help preserve it for years to come.
We hope you will enjoy your cherished umbrella for many years to come.
