Product Details

-Black bamboo wagasa-
This is a Japanese parasol made of only domestic natural materials.
No metal is used at all, including the black bamboo handle.
The black bamboo handle fits comfortably in the hand, and the sound of the wooden hajiki when the umbrella is opened resonates pleasantly.
*Please note that these parasols may not be used in rainy weather.

-Unryu paper-
This Japanese paper is made of long and thin Kozo fibers, which are plowed into the paper to create a cloud-like pattern.
Under the sunlight, the washi is uniquely beautiful, and its unique texture makes it an attractive Japanese parasol.

-Kumokasumi-
This is a Japanese parasol with an elegant impression of multi-colored Kozo dusted all over on light purple Unryu paper.

For one Japanese parasol to be produced, specific craftsmen undertake each separate process of making the ribs, creating the ‘rokuro’ to connect the ribs, and making the Japanese washi paper.Thus each parasol is tailor-made by Tsujikura craftsmen.Japanese parasols are made due to the connections between people, and Tsujikura seeks to pass these “EN” (connections) on to our customers, as well as to the next generation.As part of our mission, we bring you the Japanese Parasol "EN" Series.

Tsujikura uses the most attractive Japanese washi paper such as Unryu (mulberry) paper and tie-dyed paper to produce Japanese parasols one rank above the rest.

Japanese parasols are not coated in oil so it is possible to enjoy the original beauty of the Japanese paper. They are used in Kyoto by Maiko (apprentice Geisha) etc. Recently Japanese parasols are gathering a lot of attention overseas as interior decoration.

*Please note that these parasols may not be used in rainy weather.

Unryu (cloud dragon) paper is washi paper which has the long thin fibers of paper mulberry mixed in with pulp to create a cloud-like pattern. The unique texture highly improves its attraction as washi paper.
