From Tsujikura to our customers
Tsujikura has operated as a street-front store for many years, but due to the deterioration of the building, in 2011 we renovated and moved to the 7th floor of the TSUJIKURA Building in the same location. At the store, anyone can actually pick up and look at all the Japanese umbrellas sold in the online shop before purchasing. If you are visiting Kyoto, please stop by Tsujikura and see our beautiful Japanese umbrellas that have remained unchanged since the old days.
