Kinsai Ume Ryusui (Black) / High Quality Wakasane

High Quality Wakasane
This is a reproduction of the classic “Kousa” pattern of the janome umbrella. It was completed by the advanced and delicate tensioning technique by Wagasa craftsmen.
The gorgeous plum stream pattern of kinsai yuzen and the beautiful black unryu paper of Kurotani, Kyoto. The beauty of the contrast is outstanding.
It has become a gem recommended not only for rainy days but also for interior decoration like a painting.

Kinsai Ume Ryusui
Plum blossoms bloom from winter to spring and have a dignified beauty even in cold weather. The design reminds the viewer of Japan's four seasons, the beauty of nature, and the depth of traditional culture. It has a refined beauty and a quiet, serene yet powerful quality.
