Description

Hime Wagasa – Each one carefully handcrafted by Japanese umbrella artisans –

At Tsujikura, we produce Hime Wagasa, miniature Japanese umbrellas made using domestically sourced materials. Just like full-sized wagasa, we are committed to craftsmanship, handmade quality, and Japanese-made excellence. With their precise construction and superior quality, our Hime Wagasa are highly regarded by customers overseas as authentic items that embody traditional skills and spirit.

Due to their shape that spreads out like a fan, wagasa (traditional Japanese umbrellas) have long been considered auspicious items in Japan. They have been widely cherished as part of bridal trousseaus and as good-luck charms to ward off misfortune and attract good fortune. The word "yokeru" in Japanese means "to protect from" or "to ward off," so wagasa have been valued not only as protection from the sun and rain, but also as symbols of protection from bad luck. Today, they are often chosen as gifts for special occasions, such as celebrations for longevity (like the 80th birthday, known as Sanju) and wedding keepsakes.

The miniature size is easy to use as a Japanese interior decoration. It is a great souvenir or gift for those who are interested in authenticity.

Comes with a bamboo umbrella stand, umbrella bag, and a decorative box.

Handling Method

How to Use the Wagasa
When you walk carrying the closed umbrella, please grasp the head of the Wagasa, or for Janome please grasp the cord on the head, and for Bangasa please hold the leather strings bound around the head.

How to Open the Wagasa
The Wagasa may be difficult to open due to the waterproof grease on the Washi. Please lightly grasp the bottom of the runner at the bottom inside the umbrella, and slowly and carefully push to the top to open the Wagasa.
