Tsujikura "Kiwami" Special Selection Tsukiyakko "Kinkan Gengetsu" (Golden Ring New Moon)

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

Traditional Kyoto crafts passed down through a long history.

This is a special "Tsukiyakko" umbrella, luxuriously crafted using "Kurotani Washi" from the papermaking village of Ayabe, Kyoto, and meticulously tailored over time by the skilled artisans of Tsujikura.

By combining the natural texture of washi paper with the refined form of a Japanese umbrella, we have created a piece that allows you to experience the beauty of the material itself.

■ Special Tsukiyakko "Kinkan Gengetsu" (Golden Ring Crescent Moon)

A piece featuring a golden moon emerging against a deep, serene black background.

"Kinkan" (golden ring) evokes the image of the moon shining like a ring of gold. The depth of the black and the warm radiance of the gold resonate with each other, creating an expression that possesses both strength and elegance.

Black is a color that gives the overall look a dignified sharpness. The golden washi paper changes its expression softly every time it catches the light, adding a quiet splendor like moonlight.

The large, sweeping arc unique to the Tsukiyakko design further highlights the beautiful contrast between black and gold, giving it an exceptional presence when opened.

Rather than decorating with color, this piece captivates through the texture and composition of the washi paper.

It is a profound and prestigious special Tsukiyakko, worthy of the Tsujikura "Kiwami" (Excellence) name.
