■Kyoto “Kurotani Washi” × Kyoto “Wagasa shop Tsujikura"
A traditional craft that has been preserved and nurtured through a long history.
'Kurotani Washi,” from the paper-making village of Ayabe, Kyoto, is a very rare type of Japanese paper that is made entirely by hand by craftsmen; each sheet is handmade by hand.

Kurotani washi is used in the restoration of cultural properties because it is durable and long-lasting, and can withstand long-term preservation. Tsujikura's skilled craftsmen carefully and painstakingly make the Janome umbrella out of this rare Kurotani washi paper.

We are pleased to offer you a superb product of “Kyoto Kurotani Washi” and “Kyoto Wagasa shop Tsujikura”.

■Blizzard and Red Moon

"Blizzard" is a characteristic Japanese paper with the outer or black skin, which was originally removed when making white paper from kozo (paper mulberry), left behind. It enhances the texture of Wagasa, which is made mostly from natural materials.

"Red Moon” is a Japanese umbrella with a beautiful red and green moon design.
The contrast between the bright red and the pure, fresh color of the snowflakes is as fantastic as the moon floating in the night sky, and at the same time, it is powerful.
The image of the red moon enhances the mysterious charm of this umbrella while expressing the elegance that only a Japanese umbrella can.
The use of high quality Japanese materials and exquisite tailoring by craftsmen highlight its beauty.
The “Red Moon” is an eye-catching design with a calm appearance, suitable for special occasions and gifts.

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.
