Mame(mini) Wagasa [Gujo Honzome 2 sweetfish]

Although small, the production, materials, and craftsmanship are exactly the same as the real thing!
Made of Mino handmade Japanese paper dyed with Gujo Honzome indigo. Gujo Honzome" is designated as an intangible cultural asset of Gujo City.

Speaking of sweetfish, the clear Nagara River runs through the center of Gifu City. The annual cormorant fishing event held from May 11 to October 15 comes to mind.
The indigo-dyed washi paper is used as a representation of the deep, clear river, and the two ayu fish swimming dynamically as if chasing each other are made into small bean wagasa (umbrella). The spots behind the pectoral fins (originally yellow), one of the characteristics of natural ayu fish, are also expressed.
The vivid green color of the thread stitching is an accent.

This size is just cute.
As with the parasol, it is made of unoiled Japanese paper, so please be careful not to get it wet.
It is delivered in a closed state because it opens and closes.
