The beautiful gradations of indigo dye. The ultimate Nagara River basin product.
This is a truly one-of-a-kind special collaboration wagasa (Japanese umbrella), made by crafting Mino handmade washi, dyed with indigo grown in Itoshiro, Gifu, into a Japanese umbrella.
This is one of five limited edition Janome umbrellas for this season.
The combination of clear, refreshing indigo and patterned dyeing is beautiful.
The delicate, colorful thread stitching delights you every time you open the wagasa.
The bamboo handle and ferrule are finished with true lacquer by ferrule craftsman Kazuo Nagaya.

All Gifu Japanese umbrellas are carefully made one by one by the hands of craftsmen.
It takes over two months to make one Japanese umbrella.
Japanese umbrellas, which are said to be ``open as flowers, closed as bamboo'', are traditional Japanese crafts that are filled with the skill of craftsmen and attention to detail.
Each Japanese umbrella is created through numerous production processes that last over two months.
The thoughtfulness of craftsmen and traditional techniques create delicate beauty.
The framework of a Japanese umbrella is made from a piece of bamboo that is split evenly and assembled so that when the umbrella is folded, it returns to its original shape.
The moment you open it, the colors of the Japanese paper and the delicate threads create a beautiful shadow that surrounds the person holding it.
All of these are the only Japanese umbrellas in the world, created through the painstaking work of craftsmen.
