Red with Danjuro Brown / High Quality Tsukiyakko / KIWAMI

■ Kyoto "Kurotani Washi" × Kyoto "Wagasa-ya Tsujikura"

A cherished traditional craft preserved and nurtured through centuries of history.
Kurotani Washi, originating from the papermaking village of Ayabe in Kyoto, is an exceptionally rare Japanese paper, meticulously handcrafted sheet by sheet by master artisans.
Renowned for its remarkable strength, durability, and resilience, it has long been trusted in the restoration of cultural properties.
Applying this precious Kurotani washi, skilled artisans at Tsujikura have taken extensive time and care to tailor it into a refined Janome-gasa (traditional rain umbrella).
We are proud to present this supreme masterpiece created through the collaboration of Kyoto Kurotani Washi and Kyoto Wagasa-ya Tsujikura.

■ Special Selection Tsukiyakko: "Orange & Danjuro Brown"
Evoking the poetic beauty of a moonlit night across a single canopy, this umbrella features an exquisite kiritsugi (patchwork collage) design defined by its striking, elegant contrast of light and shadow.
