"Hime Wagasa"
― Carefully crafted one by one by traditional umbrella artisans ―

Tsujikura’s Hime Wagasa are miniature umbrellas made using Japanese bamboo and washi paper, constructed through the same processes as full-sized Japanese umbrellas.
Within their small stature, they capture the techniques and beauty that have been passed down through generations.

Every Hime Wagasa is finished by hand by artisans, resulting in an elaborate design with no compromise in detail.
More than just an ornament, each piece possesses the presence of an "authentic" work of art.
They have also earned high praise from customers overseas.

Due to their flared shape, Japanese umbrellas have long been considered auspicious symbols.
Beyond shielding from the sun and rain, they carry the meaning of "warding off evil," making them special items that grace significant milestones in life.

For this reason, they are chosen as gifts for 80th birthday celebrations (sanju), wedding keepsakes, and presents for loved ones.
As a gift imbued with heartfelt sentiment, they will remain in the heart for a long time.

Hime Wagasa are a convenient size for entryways, alcoves (tokonoma), and display shelves.
Simply placing one in a space brings a crisp, traditional Japanese elegance.

For those who cherish the authentic.
For special milestone gifts.
Please enjoy the Hime Wagasa, where the artistry of Tsujikura breathes.
