Tsujikura "Kiwami", Tomoe "Suigetsu"

Tomoe "Suigetsu" (Emerald Moon)

A single piece featuring a deep emerald background
with off-white *tomoe* patterns circulating quietly.

The *tomoe* is a classical pattern said to represent the flow or vortex of water,
or to be derived from ancient *magatama* beads.
Its circulating form evokes
both strength and mystery.

"Suigetsu" (Emerald Moon)

A name that layers the "emerald" (翠), representing a beautiful green,
with the serene charm of a moon floating quietly.

Within the composed deep green,
the soft brightness of off-white stands out,
exuding a presence that is at once gentle and dignified.

The *tomoe* design, drawing large arcs,
creates a sense of quiet movement on the umbrella surface,
making it a piece that blends elegantly into Japanese-style spaces.

This is a classic Japanese umbrella, unique to Tsujikura,
possessing both the strength of traditional patterns
and the refined dignity of emerald.

■ Kyoto "Kurotani Washi" × Kyoto "Wagasa-ya Tsujikura"

Traditional crafts of Kyoto passed down through a long history.
"Kurotani Washi," from the paper-making village in Ayabe, Kyoto, is a rare Japanese paper carefully handmade, sheet by sheet, by artisans.
Due to its durability and longevity, it is also used for the restoration of cultural properties.

This *janome-gasa* (snake-eye umbrella) is crafted over time by Tsujikura's master artisans, luxuriously using that Kurotani Washi.
We bring you an exquisite masterpiece born from the collaboration of "Kyoto Kurotani Washi" and "Kyoto Wagasa-ya Tsujikura."
