【Mino Handmade Washi x Indigo Dye】
The beautiful shades of indigo.
The ultimate Nagara River basin product.
The tie-dyed indigo washi is like a universe. Each piece is unique, with different dye colors and patterns every time.
The wiped-lacquer finished rockero (pivot) is beautiful and tasteful.
The opening action is smoothly fluid, and the satisfying click of the wood stopper is unique to a bamboo handle.
This Japanese umbrella, handcrafted by artisans in the Nagara River basin, is breathtakingly beautiful.
The deep indigo-dyed washi, unique to Watanabe Somemono-ten, reveals a breathtaking transparency when oiled, making it even more stunning.
The contrast between the red-dyed bamboo ribs and the indigo color is chic and cool.
Furthermore, it's a specially designed, luxurious piece with a four-stage gradient thread binding.
The pivot (rokuro) is finished with genuine lacquer by lacquer craftsman Kazuo Nagaya.
It becomes more tasteful with use.

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.
