Kyoto Kurodani Special Selection Parasol "Tomoe" Issen

Kyoto Kurotani Special Selection Parasol "Tomoe" Issen (Flash)

A special selection parasol crafted using Kyoto Kurotani Unryu paper, featuring a striking contrast between white and red.
Amidst the serene white, a sharp, sweeping crimson curve highlights the flow of the tomoe (comma pattern).

That singular streak is an "Issen," like a sudden flash of light.
It is finished with an impressive design where stillness and motion intersect.

The flow of clouds depicted by the unique fibers of Kurotani washi paper is unique to every piece,
evoking the fluctuations and depth of nature.
It filters light softly, creating elegant shadows.

Every detail is hand-crafted by traditional wagasa artisans.
Each parasol, carefully assembled one by one,
possesses both aesthetic beauty and reliable quality.

Wagasa are considered good luck charms due to their "suehiro" (tapering out/prospering) shape,
and have long been cherished as talismans to "ward off evil."
It is a piece worthy of both special occasions and as a gift.

Add a dignified impression to your ensemble.
Bring a sense of quiet tension to your space.
We invite you to enjoy this parasol, breathing with the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibility of Tsujikura.
