A traditional craft that has been preserved and nurtured through a long history.
Kurotani Washi,” from the paper-making village of Ayabe, Kyoto, is a very rare type of Japanese paper that is made entirely by hand by craftsmen.
Kurotani washi is used in the restoration of cultural properties because of its durability and longevity, and its ability to withstand long-term preservation.
Tsujikura’s skilled craftsmen carefully crafted this rare Kurotani Unryu paper into a Janome umbrella over a long period of time.
We are pleased to offer you a superb product of “Kyoto Kurotani Washi” and “Kyoto Wagasa shop Tsujikura”.
Special selection “Yoimachizuki ” (Moon in the Evening)
The evening moon awaits those who come. This Wagasa is made of Kurotani Unryu paper with gentle colors.
Wagasa before it becomes Wagasa is also very beautiful, but the Wagasa made of Wagasa is made of Kozo (paper mulberry).
The beauty of the wagasa stands out beautifully with its beautifully transparent appearance.
“Kurotani Washi, the home of paper-making in Ayabe, Kyoto”
The number of washi craftsmen has been decreasing with the changing times, and is now in the single digits.
However, the number of craftsmen is relatively young, mainly in their 30s and 40s, and the production area is very active.
While preserving the traditional “handmade paper” technique that has continued for more than 800 years, the production area is also strengthening the development of new products and the production area’s brand.
