Hime-Wagasa "Gold-Leaf Origami Cranes on Crimson"

"Hime-Wagasa" (Princess Japanese Umbrella) — Each one is carefully handmade by traditional umbrella artisans —
At Tsujikura, we create "Hime-Wagasa"—miniature Japanese umbrellas made using materials sourced in Japan. Meticulously crafted with a commitment to "artisan skill," "handmade quality," and "Made in Japan" standards just like our full-sized umbrellas, these Hime-Wagasa are characterized by their exquisite construction and superior quality. Highly acclaimed by our international customers, this is a piece that breathes with tradition and technique, truly deserving to be called "the real thing."

With their shape widening at the end, Japanese umbrellas have long been considered lucky charms, widely cherished as bridal trousseau items or as "amulets" to boost one's fortune. Because they "ward off" the elements, they have been prized not only for protection from the sun and rain but also as talismans against evil, making them popular gifts for 80th birthday (Sanju) celebrations, wedding souvenirs, and various other special occasions.

The miniature Hime-Wagasa is sized to easily fit into any Japanese-style interior decor. We invite you to use them as gifts, commemorative items, or as a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate authenticity.
※Each umbrella comes with a bamboo stand and a presentation box.
