Gold-painted Kyoto Yuzen "Flower Hairpin"

"Flower Hairpin"
Maiko's hair ornaments are decorated with seasonal flowers from January to December. In Kyoto, you can tell the seasons are changing every time a maiko changes her flower hairpin. This Japanese umbrella is inspired by the flower hairpin worn by maiko and combines gaiety and cuteness.

▪Golden Kyoto Yuzen washi paper
The whole base of the washi paper is dyed with "jizome" (ground dye), followed by "iro-sashi" (color insertion) using a mold. The color insertion is repeated for each color. Finally, it is dried with a hot plate and warm air to create a gorgeous hand-dyed yuzen washi paper.
This Kyoto Yuzen washi paper is characterized by elegant gold accents here and there.

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.
