【Mino Handmade Washi x Itoshiro Indigo Dye 2024】

The beautiful gradations of indigo. The ultimate Nagara River basin product.
This is an undeniable one-of-a-kind special collaboration wagasa (Japanese umbrella), made with Mino handmade washi paper dyed with indigo grown in Itoshiro, Gifu in 2023, and crafted into a wagasa.
It is one of only six limited edition "janome" (bull's eye) wagasa available this season.

The connected patterns resemble snow crystals.
The dyed patterns, which appear more like afterimages than sharp and clear, create a mysterious atmosphere.

The ochre stitching lightly blends with the "onname" (female bamboo) handle.

The "rokuro" (spindle) features a genuine urushi lacquer finish by Nagaya-san, the only rokuro craftsman.
It develops a deeper character with prolonged use.
The handle is made from high-quality "onname" (female bamboo), characterized by its smooth texture and lightness.

A wagasa is something that can never be made by one person from scratch.
This wagasa, made by the hands of many artisans, embodies their efforts, ingenuity, and passion, and its inherent beauty seems to express this.

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.
