About the Product
Kyoto "Kurotani Washi" x Kyoto "Wagasa-ya Tsujikura"
Traditional crafts have been protected and nurtured through a long history. Kurotani Washi, from the papermaking village of Ayabe in Kyoto, is a very rare Japanese paper where every single sheet is handmade by artisans. Known for being exceptionally strong and durable, it is also used for the restoration of cultural assets due to its ability to withstand long-term preservation. Using this rare Kurotani Washi, Tsujikura's skilled craftsmen have spent considerable time carefully crafting this Janome(Snake Eye) umbrella. We are proud to present this exquisite masterpiece, a collaboration between Kyoto Kurotani Washi and Kyoto Wagasa-ya Tsujikura.
Golden Emerald (Kogane ni Midori)
A dignified emerald moon shadow circles a rich golden ground.
The center, which holds a soft golden light, evokes a warm and spreading solar energy, while the deep emerald adorning the outer edge sharpens the overall impression.
Since ancient times, gold has been a symbol of prosperity and fertility, while emerald is a color representing vitality and purity.
Their contrast reflects the cycles and harmony of nature.
The texture of the Kyoto Kurotani Washi adds depth to the overlapping colors, creating a piece that looks even more beautiful under the light.
The refined circle of the "Tsukiyakko" pattern and the resonance of the colors create a sense of high prestige.
This is a powerful yet elegant Wagasa, reaching the pinnacle of Tsujikura's craftsmanship.
