Paper Naturally Parasol “Black Bamboo” / Hanabishi(Multi/Pattern)

-Black bamboo wagasa-
Tsujikura’s black bamboo parasol is made of natural materials without using any metal.
The handle is made of black bamboo, wood is used for the hajiki (parts that hold the umbrella open), and bamboo nails are used to hold the rokuro (parts that connect the bamboo handle and the umbrella bone) in place.

-Blurring stencil-dyed Japanese paper-
Beautifully colored katazome Japanese paper is used for the Washi paper, using the blurring technique in the dyeing process.
The front side of the umbrella has a blurred chrysanthemum arabesque pattern, while the inside shows through the pattern, making it a modern and stylish Japanese parasol.

-Hanabishi-
This is a pattern of four petals in a diamond shape.
It is also used as the family crest of the Kai Takeda family, many Japanese companies, Koshiro Matsumoto, and Somegoro Ichikawa.
Since the Heian period (794-1185), only a few people were allowed to use it as one of the recognized patterns, and it has the meaning of nobility and refinement.
