"Hime Wagasa"
― Carefully handcrafted by Japanese umbrella artisans ―

Tsujikura’s Hime Wagasa is a miniature umbrella made with Japanese bamboo and washi paper, following the exact same process as our full-sized umbrellas.
Within its small form, it encapsulates the beauty and techniques passed down through generations.

Every Hime Wagasa is finished by the hands of artisans, with exquisite attention to detail in every aspect.
It is not merely a decorative item, but a piece that possesses the presence of a "genuine" work of art.
It has also received high acclaim from customers overseas.

Due to their spreading shape, Japanese umbrellas have long been considered symbols of good fortune.
Beyond shielding from sun and rain, they are said to "ward off evil," making them a special presence that highlights life's significant milestones.

For this reason, they are chosen as gifts for 80th birthday celebrations (sanju), wedding commemorations, and for cherished loved ones.
As a gift filled with heartfelt sentiment, they leave a lasting impression.

Hime Wagasa are a convenient size for entryways, tokonoma alcoves, or display shelves.
Simply placing one adds a refined sense of Japanese elegance to any space.

For those who value authenticity.
For a special milestone gift.
We invite you to enjoy a Hime Wagasa, brought to life by the skill of Tsujikura.

※Comes with a bamboo stand and a gift box.
