Tsujikura "Kiwami" Special Selection Tsukiyakko: Emerald with Snowstorm

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

Traditional crafts that have been protected and nurtured throughout a long history.
The paper-making village of Ayabe, Kyoto, produces "Kurotani Washi," a very rare handmade paper created entirely by artisans, sheet by sheet.
Known for its strength and durability, it is even used for the restoration of cultural properties due to its ability to withstand long-term preservation.
Our skilled Tsujikura artisans have meticulously crafted this rare Kurotani paper into a Janome-gasa (bullseye umbrella) over a long period of time.
We are pleased to present this exquisite masterpiece created by "Kyoto Kurotani Washi" and "Kyoto Wagasa-ya Tsujikura."

■ Tokusen Tsukikko: Midori ni Fubuki (Green Blizzard)

A design featuring a deep, clear green moon
with a blizzard dancing quietly.

The dignified green is a color
that symbolizes the power of life and purity.
The stillness residing at its center
further accentuates the refinement of the Tsukikko circle.

The dancing blizzard
represents the cycle of water.
It is a pattern imbued with wishes for rebirth and fertility.

The soft, unbleached blizzard patterns on the outer edge
envelop the entire umbrella like moonlight,
creating a contrast of light and shadow.

The texture of Kyoto Kurotani Washi
adds depth to the color,
creating a quiet, tense elegance the moment it is opened.

A Japanese umbrella that embodies the pinnacle of Tsujikura’s craftsmanship,
wrapped in dignified grace.
