Product Details
Tsujikura's "Black Bamboo" Japanese parasol, made with all natural materials without using a single nail.
The handle grip is made of black bamboo, the hajiki which holds the umbrella open is made of wood, and bamboo nails are used to keep the rokuro, which connects the umbrella bones and the handle, in place.
Furthermore, stencil-dyed washi paper, which uses ombre gradation techniques in the dyeing processes to produce beautiful coloring, is used for the washi paper.
*Please note that these parasols may not be used in rainy weather.
■Katazome Washi
Among the various dyeing techniques used in Japan, katazome washi has a long tradition and is a technique that brings together a rich pattern expression and the delicate hand skills unique to the Japanese. After applying starch to the areas not to be dyed to prevent dyeing, colors are applied using different katazome patterns for each color. The design finally becomes clear at the moment the glue rises from the washi paper in the water in the final process.
Polka Dot” pattern/Transparent Lacquer
The front side of the umbrella has a dark blue polka dot pattern on a white background, and the inside is a modern and chic Japanese parasol with a transparent pattern.
For those who use a Japanese umbrella for the first time, please feel the gentle sunlight of the Japanese parasol with a little modern polka dot pattern.
*Please note that these parasols may not be used in rainy weather.
