YAMABUKI / KIWAMI

About the Product

A masterpiece original to Tsujikura, crafted with handmade Etchu washi. This exquisite Etchu washi is made from high-quality Kozo (mulberry) fibers, hand-pulled and plant-dyed. The beautiful "wabi" colors, the texture of the handmade paper, and the meticulous finishing by skilled craftsmen have culminated in this luxurious masterpiece, the "Kiwami" (Excellence). This collection introduces a series of Bangasa with beautiful, translucent hues never before seen in traditional oil-paper umbrellas.

■ Karashi-iro - Mustard

Karashi-iro (Mustard color) is a deep, serene yellow with a subtle hint of gray—a traditional Japanese color that evokes warmth and tranquility. As the name suggests, it is characterized by a sophisticated, earthy yellow reminiscent of mustard seeds.

A Bangasa in this shade enhances the beauty of Japanese aesthetics with its gentle, natural tones. This umbrella carries an air of nostalgic charm, blending seamlessly into the rainy landscape while maintaining a quiet yet distinct presence. It complements both traditional Japanese attire and simple Western clothing, making it a versatile choice for everything from daily use to special occasions.

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.
