Fujin Raijin-zu / Hand-painted Kyo-yuzen

Nariken, a craftsman who produces authentic Kyo-Yuzen with a sincere attitude toward craftsmanship, and Tsujikura, which makes Japanese umbrellas to pass on the ancient traditional culture of Japan to future generations, have collaborated to create this product.

The most important part of kimono making is the underpainting.
A draftsman who has been drawing various patterns at Nariken for 30 years has drawn classical patterns on Japanese paper that will be used as a Japanese umbrella.

Japanese umbrella craftsmen continue to make purely domestic Japanese umbrellas with the mission of preserving the ancient Japanese manufacturing method and passing it down to the next generation.
Kyo-Yuzen draftsmen and Japanese umbrella  craftsmen.
The combination of the earnest attitude toward craftsmanship and the skills of the artisans has resulted in the hand-painted Kyo-Yuzen Japanese parasol.

Each and every hair of the Wind God and Thunder God is meticulously drawn.
The sense of dynamism that seems to jump out at any moment.
Powerful eyes.
The brushwork of a skilled craftsman shines through.
