Pure White / Mini Wagasa

”Hime Wagasa” – Each one is handmade by a Wagasa craftsman.
Tsujikura produces miniature-sized “Princess Wagasa” made of Japanese materials just like Wagasa.
We are very particular about “craftsmanship (quality)”, “handmade”, and “made in Japan”, and our products are very popular among overseas customers who buy Wagasa.

■About Wagasa
Japanese umbrellas, due to their flared shape, have long been widely recognized as auspicious items, used as wedding tools and as items for improving fortune and warding off bad luck. They are chosen as gifts not only for sun and rain protection but also for protection against misfortune.

■For Decoration
The miniature-sized Hime-wagasa is a very convenient size for use as a Japanese interior decoration. Additionally, as it is considered an auspicious item, it is also chosen as a wedding favor.

How to Use the Wagasa
When you walk carrying the closed umbrella, please grasp the head of the Wagasa, or for Janome please grasp the cord on the head, and for Bangasa please hold the leather strings bound around the head.

How to Open the Wagasa
The Wagasa may be difficult to open due to the waterproof grease on the Washi. Please lightly grasp the bottom of the runner at the bottom inside the umbrella, and slowly and carefully push to the top to open the Wagasa.
