"En"
To complete a single Japanese umbrella, many craftsmen work together, 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.

"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.

When you walk carrying the closed umbrella, please grasp the head of the Wagasa, or for Janome please grasp the cord on the head, and for Bangasa please hold the leather strings bound around the head.

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.
