Ryusui Red and white plum/Gold color Kyoto style Yuzen

Gold-Accented (Kinsai) "Kanze Ryusui, Red & White Plum Blossoms" — Traditional Japanese Sun Parasol
An auspicious Japanese sun parasol featuring traditional motifs: flowing water (Kanze Ryusui), which symbolizes eternity into the future, and plum trees embodying vitality and renewal.

Master artisans meticulously handcraft each parasol with exceptional attention to detail.
As an elegant piece of Japanese interior display, even a single parasol commands a striking presence.
It is also widely favored as a meaningful and sophisticated gift for international guests.

[Hand-Dyed Yuzen Washi]
The production begins with jizome, dyeing the base color across the entire sheet of washi, followed by irosashi, where intricate patterns are hand-stenciled layer by layer for each individual color. Finally, the paper is carefully dried using heated plates and warm air, resulting in vibrant, luxurious hand-dyed Yuzen washi.
*Please note: This product cannot be used in the rain.

『縁 -En-』(Connection & Destiny)
Crafting a single Wagasa requires the harmony of numerous master artisans: shaping the bamboo ribs, carving the wooden runner hub (rokuro) that holds the frame together, and hand-making the washi paper. Skilled artisans at Tsujikura then assemble these elements into a single finished parasol.
A wagasa is born from the meaningful connections (En) between craftsmen, and we pass this precious bond forward to our customers and the next generation. Dedicated to expanding our connections with people around the world through En, we continue to devote ourselves daily to the art of wagasa making.
