Hime Wagasa: Translucent Maple Leaves -Sheer-

“Hime-Wagasa” — Handcrafted individually by Wagasa artisans —
At Tsujikura, we create miniature “Hime-Wagasa” (Princess Japanese Umbrellas) using the same Japanese-made materials as our full-sized umbrellas. Our miniature umbrellas have been highly praised by overseas customers who deeply value the “craftsmanship (quality),” “handmade” nature, and “Made in Japan” authenticity of our products.

－Watermarked Maple Leaves－
These are made using handmade Washi paper embedded with hand-picked maple leaves. The beautiful maple leaves visible through the paper create a natural and charming impression. The beauty of the leaves is best appreciated when sunlight shines through them, rather than from inside the umbrella. The miniature Hime-Wagasa size makes it easy to display as an interior decoration with a Japanese touch.
※Includes a bamboo umbrella stand and a decorative gift box.
