―Traditional Beauty of Kyoto — Tsujikura’s Wagasa―

Traditional Kyoto Wagasa Have Become More Accessible to Overseas Customers Amid the Weakened Yen

Tsujikura, a Kyoto-based wagasa maker, manufactures and sells traditional Japanese umbrellas, carrying on Kyoto’s time-honored craftsmanship.Each umbrella is handcrafted with bamboo frames covered in Japanese paper or fabric, meticulously made by skilled artisans, and has long been cherished throughout Japan.
In recent years, the Japanese yen has weakened.For example, while one U.S. dollar was about 106 yen at the end of 2020, it is around 150 yen in 2025. As a result, although production costs in yen remain the same, the price converted into foreign currencies has effectively decreased, making our umbrellas more affordable for customers overseas.
The traditional wagasa handed down in Kyoto are not merely tools for protection against rain and sunlight, but masterpieces of craftsmanship refined over centuries.At Tsujikura, we preserve this tradition while building a global shipping system to deliver our umbrellas directly to customers around the world.
The current weakened yen serves as a favorable tailwind for introducing Japan’s traditional craftsmanship to the world. Now is the perfect time to acquire high-quality wagasa at a relatively affordable price. We invite you to explore our product page for more details.
