Tsujikura "Kiwami" Crescent Moon Yakko, Light Blue

Stillness becomes color.
A pale, deep green that dissolves into the clear, crisp air.
An understated beauty with a strong core.

Tsujikura "Kiwami" Mikazuki-yakko "Asagi" (Pale Blue-Green)

A quiet morning, a time when the light filters in softly.
A moment where the wind and sounds settle, and everything is in harmony.

"Asagi" is a rain umbrella that captures that clear atmosphere.

For its design, we have adopted Tsujikura’s traditional Mikazuki-yakko style.
The arc-shaped composition creates a beautiful sense of tension within the tranquility.

The material used is white Unryu-shi paper handmade in Kurotani, Kyoto.
The flow of the fibers creates soft shadows, bringing out a rich, textured depth.

The drop-water paper (rakusui-shi) is decorated with a chrysanthemum arabesque pattern,
layered with hand-made pine-needle green washi paper.

The overlapping with white creates a subtle flicker of color within the silence,
resulting in a presence that is modest yet memorable.

Not gaudy,
but a beauty that stays with you for a long time.

An umbrella whose quiet charm
only deepens the more you use it.

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

A traditional Kyoto craft passed down through a long history.
"Kurotani Washi," from the papermaking village of Ayabe in Kyoto, is rare washi paper meticulously handmade sheet by sheet by skilled artisans.
Due to its durable and long-lasting nature, it is also used for the restoration of cultural properties.

This is a Janome-gasa umbrella made by Tsujikura's master craftsmen, who spent time luxuriously using this Kurotani washi.
We deliver an exquisite masterpiece born from the collaboration of "Kyoto Kurotani Washi" and "Kyoto Wagasa-ya Tsujikura."
