This is a Wagasa with a beautiful tensioning method in which the arc of the moon guy is doubled to look like a crescent moon.
The combination of the bright fresh blue Japanese paper and the glass button pattern is refreshing.
The artist herself silk-screened the Mino handmade Japanese paper with a glass button pattern.
The crescent moon is made with an elaborate technique of stretching the paper so that the circles are connected.

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.
