Timeless Tradition Beyond Borders

We had the pleasure of welcoming a guest from the UK for a Hime Wagasa-making experience.
A British influencer visited us in a stunning kimono, carefully chosen for the occasion. She crafted her own Hime Wagasa using cherry blossom-patterned washi paper that perfectly matched her kimono.

Her deep interest in Japanese culture was evident as she listened intently to the artisan’s explanations.

The moment she held her finished cherry blossom Hime Wagasa, her radiant smile spoke louder than words.
We hope that, through her, the beauty of Japan’s traditional Wagasa craftsmanship will reach people in the UK and around the world.
