Matsuba(Black/Green)/ Matte Jyanome Pattern

-Matte janome pattern-
As there are many ukiyoe paintings of beautiful women holding a japanese patterned umbrella, this design has been popular for a long time. Tsujikura’s japanese pattern has been created in a variety of colors in addition to the white ring japanese pattern.
The “Matte Janome” is a revival of the traditional Japanese umbrella design, using black bamboo for the handle and wood for the parts that hold the umbrella in place.
The lacquer applied to the umbrella bone is matte black. The deep and soothing texture of the lacquer, rather than the glossy lacquer of the past, enhances the chic look of the umbrella when it is opened.
Tsujikura has breathed new life into the traditional snake’s-eye pattern, which has been handed down from our predecessors, while preserving it.

-Matsuba (pine needles) in jet black-
The center of the circle is a Matsuba (pine needles) color on a jet-black background.
This unique and impactful Wagasa can be used as a Japanese interior decoration.
Even a single one has a great presence.

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.
