Classic Pattern Tomoe: "Crane's Longevity"

■Classical Pattern: Tomoe
The "Tomoe" is a pattern that has been passed down since ancient times.
Its shape is said to represent the flow or swirls of water, or to be modeled after the magatama beads that house souls.
Along with "Tsukiyakko," which possesses both strength and mystery, this is one of Tsujikura's representative designs.

The "Tomoe Series" overlays modern sensibilities onto these classical patterns,
reflecting the stories imbued in each color and name onto the Japanese umbrellas.
Each piece has its own unique character, becoming a special item that protects and adds color to the life of its user.

■Kakuju (Crane Longevity)

This piece boldly combines a black Tomoe pattern with a classical motif based in red and gold.
The inclusion of black within the vibrant pattern sharpens the overall look, resulting in a powerful and highly dignified impression.

"Kakuju" is an auspicious term wishing for longevity and prosperity.
It is a vibrant, commanding Japanese umbrella that is perfect for special days and celebrations.

Harmonizing the radiance of red, the elegance of gold, and the profound presence of black,
this is a quintessential Tsujikura classical-pattern Japanese umbrella.
