■Black bamboo Japanese parasol, gold-painted Kyoto Yuzen "Jet black with gold leaf" Yuzen style

This is a Japanese parasol with a delicate yet solemn golden floral pattern.
As a Japanese display, even a single piece will have a strong presence.
It is also a popular choice as a gift for people overseas.

■ Yuzen style
The beauty of the gold leaf Yuzen washi paper and its delicate design are highlighted.
A transparent color is used for the lacquer applied to the surface of the closed umbrella.
The figure, visible through the glossy lacquer on the surface, looks like it is wearing a kimono.
The Yuzen kimono is beautiful.

▪Hand-dyed Yuzen washi paper
The whole base of the washi paper is dyed with "jizome" (ground dye), followed by "iro-sashi" (color insertion) using a mold. The color insertion is repeated for each color. Finally, it is dried with a hot plate and warm air to create a gorgeous hand-dyed yuzen washi paper.

▪ 『Connections』
It takes many craftsmen to make a single Japanese umbrella, including making the framework, creating the parts called rokuro that connect the framework, and making the washi paper.Then, the craftsmen at Tsujikura finish it into a single Japanese umbrella.
Japanese umbrellas are made through the bonds between people, and these bonds are passed on to our customers and to the next generation. With this meaning in mind, Tsujikura named their Japanese umbrellas "En", which means "connection". We will continue to work hard every day to create Japanese umbrellas so that our bonds with people all over the world can grow.
