The Janome-gasa (snake's eye umbrella) features a sleek design compared to the Bangasa, adorned with vibrant, colorful patterns. Its structure, composed of 44 bamboo ribs, creates a lightweight silhouette. The striking purple and white Japanese paper is meticulously handcrafted by artisans in Toyama Prefecture, renowned for their exceptional quality. The design incorporates circular motifs symbolizing the snake's eye, believed to be used by deities to ward off evil spirits.
The handle is made of wood with a glossy black lacquer finish, decorated with rattan thread and a metal base. The elegant Janome-gasa is treated with natural linseed oil for waterproofing, making it reliable and enhancing everyday beauty.
This product is "bicolor," featuring a beautiful contrast of purple and white. The Janome-gasa is featured in "Amefuri," a popular Japanese folk song from the Taisho era. The lyrics depict a mother protecting her child with an umbrella on a rainy day. Originally designed to complement kimonos, the Janome-gasa remains a beloved item today. Elevate your rainy day style with this traditional umbrella in vibrant colors. The vivid hues not only protect you from the rain but also bring vitality and brightness to your appearance. Traditionally, purple was used by both men and women, and red was primarily chosen by women, but there are no strict rules, so feel free to choose your preferred color and design.*We are confident that you will immediately recognize the clear difference in product quality when comparing this authentic Kyoto Wagasa, imbued with the beauty of Japanese tradition and meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, to other mass-produced items that are far from authentic.(The color of this product is a "purple and white" bicolor.)
