Flower opening / Cherry blossoms and flower balloons/ Japanese parasol
This Japanese parasol lets you enjoy the moment as if flowers are in full bloom.

The gorgeous yuzen pattern on the inside jumps out at you the moment you open the umbrella, as if a single flower is gently opening. The design, which incorporates traditional Japanese techniques and aesthetics, enhances sunny walks and special moments.

The raw material used is finely handmade Kyo Yuzen Japanese paper, which softly catches the light. Furthermore, carefully selected natural materials are used for the handle and framework, making it both light and easy to hold. It is a perfect product for everyday use and as a gift.

A symbol of beauty to add colour to special occasions.
Enjoy a moment of Japanese beauty with Flower opening.

En -.
Before a single Japanese umbrella is made, there are various craftsmen who make the bones that form the framework, make the parts called the potter's wheel Tsujikura's craftsmen then make the umbrella into a single piece.
Wagasa is made through relationships between people, and these relationships are then passed on to customers and the next generation. Japanese parasols are named ‘En’, meaning ‘to connect’. We will devote ourselves to making wagasa every day so that we can expand our connections with people all over the world.

Hand-dyed yuzen washi
The ‘jizome’ process dyes the base of the entire sheet of washi, followed by the ‘shiro-sappashi’ process, in which a mould is used to dye the paper. Colour insertion is repeated as many times as the number of colours. Finally, a hot plate and warm air are used to dry the paper, resulting in gorgeous hand-dyed yuzen washi.
*Please note that this cannot be used in the rain.

How to Use the Wagasa
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.
