“Tsukiyakko” is a traditional snake-eye umbrella with a crescent moon pattern that has been favored and treasured by people with a high sense of beauty since ancient times.

The inside of the umbrella is adorned with a thread decoration that matches the color of the umbrella. The crescent moon pattern of Tsukiyakko is meticulously crafted, taking time to create each one using the delicate handiwork passed down by skilled craftsmen. It fascinates the heart of the person holding it from both the outside and the inside.
