Bangasa (Sturdy umbrella)
Bangasa (sturdy umbrella) is not a general term for Wagasa, but a type of Wagasa. Tsujikura Wagasa are made using processes that remain virtually the same as long ago. Among these, Bangasa are sturdily made with little decoration and are characterized by their thick stretchers, making them a Wagasa attractive for their simplicity. They are often placed outside restaurants and inns to welcome customers.
