Kyoto in Autumn and the Flavor of Japanese Umbrellas
The hot summer is over and a cool breeze is flowing in Kyoto.
Kyoto in autumn is a special place with beautiful temples, shrines, and gardens in the autumn colors, where you can feel the changing of the seasons wherever you walk.
Walking through the scenery of the ancient capital, dyed in autumn leaves and holding a traditional Japanese umbrella, one feels as if one is in a picture scroll.
The soft shadows of the Japanese umbrella harmonize with the vermilion and golden trees, bringing a quiet beauty to the scene.
When walking along cobblestone pavements moistened by autumn rain or along a path of autumn leaves with a slight breeze, the bamboo and Japanese paper of the wagasa, together with the warmth of natural materials and traditional techniques, brings the richness of the Japanese four seasons close to you.
We encourage you to pick up a wagasa during your autumn stroll in Kyoto.
Kyoto has many picturesque spots, such as quiet bamboo groves and historic cityscapes.
The vivid reds and purples of the umbrellas against the autumn leaves and the contrast between the traditional design and the modern cityscape will make for an unforgettable sight.
We are sure that you will feel the atmosphere of good old Japan even more deeply.
