Hime Wagasa "Sakura Kasumi" Red

"Hime Wagasa" (Princess Japanese Umbrella) — Individually handcrafted by our umbrella artisans —
At Tsujikura, we use Japanese materials to create "Hime Wagasa," which are miniature versions of our traditional Japanese umbrellas. Just like our full-sized umbrellas, these miniature versions are crafted with an uncompromising commitment to artisan skill, handmade quality, and Japanese materials, resulting in a product defined by its exquisite detail and high quality. They are highly popular with our international customers and are truly "authentic" pieces that breathe life into tradition and craftsmanship.

Due to their shape, which widens at the end, Japanese umbrellas have long been considered lucky charms, widely cherished as bridal trousseau items or as talismans to improve good fortune and ward off evil. Because the word for "umbrella" (kasa) shares the meaning of "protecting" or "shielding," they are valued not only as sunshades and rain protection but also as charms against misfortune, making them popular choices for a variety of gifts, including celebrations for one's 80th birthday (sanju) and wedding commemorative items.

The miniature Hime Wagasa is a size that fits easily into any Japanese-style interior. We invite you to choose one as a gift, a commemorative item, or for those who appreciate authenticity.
※Each umbrella is delivered with a bamboo stand and a decorative gift box.
