■Midori
Midori is a traditional Japanese color that refers to a bright, deep green. It takes its name from the color jade, and is characterized by a hue reminiscent of beautiful nature. This color combines a sense of coolness reminiscent of the season of green trees and fresh greenery full of vitality with a calm and elegant atmosphere.

The green color used for the parasol evokes traditional Japanese aesthetics, but also looks great in modern attire. This color, which harmonizes beautifully with nature, can be enjoyed in a wide variety of situations, whether in Japanese or Western clothing. It is also a popular color as a gift because of its vivid yet soft impression.

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.
