The "Hime Wagasa," a miniature crafted one by one by artisans.
A traditional form chosen both as a gift and for interior decor.

"Hime Wagasa" (Princess Umbrella)
— Carefully crafted one by one by traditional wagasa artisans —

Tsujikura's Hime Wagasa are miniature umbrellas made using Japanese bamboo and washi paper, constructed through the exact same process 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 entirely by the hand of a master artisan.
They are not merely decorative pieces; they possess the presence of an "authentic" item.
They have also earned high praise from customers overseas.

Due to their "spreading at the end" shape, Japanese umbrellas have long been considered symbols of good fortune.
Beyond protection from the sun and rain, they carry the meaning of "warding off evil," making them special items that color the milestones of life.

Because of this, they are chosen as gifts for 80th birthday celebrations (Sanju), wedding commemorative gifts, and presents for loved ones.
As a gift imbued with heartfelt sentiment, they leave a lasting impression.

Hime Wagasa are a convenient size to place in entryways, alcoves, or on display shelves.
Just by placing one, you can bring a dignified Japanese aesthetic to your space.

For those who value the authentic.
For special milestone gifts.
We invite you to enjoy the Hime Wagasa, in which the craftsmanship of Tsujikura truly breathes.
