Special Selection Bangasa Umbrella, Tsukiyakko "Shion-zuki"

■ Tsukiyakko (Moon Servant)
"Tsukiyakko" is a traditional Japanese umbrella featuring a crescent moon pattern, a design long cherished by those with a refined aesthetic.
The appearance of the single Japanese umbrella evokes a moonlit night, highlighting the beautiful contrast between light and shadow. It is a specially selected "bangasa" (sturdy umbrella) from Tsujikura, combining the exquisite beauty born of delicate craftsmanship with the inherent strength of the bangasa style.

■ Shion-zuki (Aster Moon)
On natural-colored washi paper,
a deep purple moon floats quietly.

Since ancient times, purple has been a color symbolizing nobility and grace.
Its harmony with soft white
brings a sense of composure to its brilliance.

When opened, it evokes the mood of the moon blurring into the twilight sky.
It is an umbrella that shines not only in traditional dance and kimono photography,
but also at celebratory occasions.

Dignified yet graceful.
A high-quality, colorful bangasa
born from the unique handiwork of Tsujikura.

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.
