Kiwami Tsukiyakko – Rurikyō

A deep, lucid hue that resonates in silence.
Layered washi in white and violet, shaped in a graceful crescent arc.
A refined wagasa expressing quiet elegance and enduring beauty.

Kiwami Tsukiyakko – Rurikyō

A deep, clear color that gently resonates in stillness.

This wagasa is crafted in the traditional Tsukiyakko crescent design, where sheets of washi are joined in a flowing arc reminiscent of the moon.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The base is made from white Unryu washi handcrafted in Kurotani, Kyoto.
Layered over it are rakusui paper with a hemp leaf pattern and hand-made violet washi.

Rakusui paper is created by dropping water onto freshly formed sheets, leaving delicate traces that become part of the design.

The hemp leaf motif has long been cherished in Japan as an auspicious pattern symbolizing healthy growth and prosperity.

The soft white base and deep violet layers merge harmoniously,
forming a quiet sense of expansion enhanced by the gentle curve of the crescent.

Presence

As light touches the surface,
the layers of washi and intricate patterns softly emerge.

Even in the rain,
it maintains a dignified and refined presence—distinctively Tsujikura.

Kyoto Craftsmanship: Kurotani Washi × Tsujikura

Kurotani Washi, produced in Ayabe, Kyoto, is a rare handmade paper crafted sheet by sheet by skilled artisans using techniques passed down through generations.

Known for its strength and durability, it is also used in the restoration of cultural properties.

This wagasa is carefully handcrafted by Tsujikura’s artisans using this exceptional material,
bringing together two Kyoto traditions in a single, refined creation.
