"Hime-Wagasa"
― Carefully handcrafted one by one by Japanese umbrella artisans ―

Tsujikura’s Hime-Wagasa are miniature Japanese umbrellas made with domestic bamboo and washi paper, crafted using the exact same processes as full-sized umbrellas.
Within their small form, they capture the techniques and beauty passed down through generations.

Every Hime-Wagasa is finished by the hands of an artisan.
They are not merely decorative items, but pieces that possess the presence of the "real thing."
They have also earned high acclaim from international customers.

Due to their shape which widens at the end, Japanese umbrellas have long been considered good luck charms.
Beyond providing shade from the sun or rain, they also hold the meaning of "warding off evil," making them special items that grace the milestones of life.

For this reason, they are chosen as gifts for 80th birthday celebrations (sanju), wedding commemorations, and for cherished loved ones.
As a gift imbued with heartfelt thoughts, they remain long in the memory.

Hime-Wagasa come in a size that is easy to incorporate into entryways, alcoves (tokonoma), or display shelves.
Simply placing one in a space brings a refined, traditional Japanese aesthetic.

For those who value authenticity.
For gifts marking special milestones.
We invite you to enjoy the Hime-Wagasa, where the craftsmanship of Tsujikura lives on.
