Japanese parasol -uguisu-

Signs of spring come quietly in the small moments of our daily lives.
You may be aware of the seasons through the calendar, or you may quietly sense spring coming through the soft light and the swaying of the breeze.

 

 

In the garden of Momoe Palace and Hokyoji Temple, there is a tree from which the first songs of young nightingales echo every year.

At Hiyoshiya, a shop located in front of the gates of Hokyoji Temple, the song of young nightingales signals the arrival of spring.

 

 

"Uguisu Japanese Parasol" was born in a workshop enveloped in the warmth of spring.

Soft, warbler-green washi paper is used as an accent around the hands and eaves, adding a touch of fresh seasonal flavor to everyday life.

 

 

Three landscapes woven with washi paper

桜 -Sakura-

This pen is made with cherry blossom washi paper from Okayama Prefecture, and allows you to enjoy the soft texture of the woven kozo fibers.

The cherry blossom color, dyed with bengala, gives off an even softer impression when the light shines through.

The warmth of natural materials is felt, creating a soft atmosphere perfect for spring and other mild seasons.

 

 

藍 -Indigo-

This navy blue umbrella is made from plant-dyed washi paper from Toyama Prefecture.

The surface is smooth, but the mulberry fibers embedded in the paper softly float, giving it a natural look.

 The deep color gently blocks sunlight, making it a perfect item for those seeking a refined and calming atmosphere.

 

鳥の子色 - Torinoko Beige -

Torinoko, a soft, elegant hue cherished by connoisseurs of refined taste, is used to dye the washi paper of this lightweight piece. 

The fibers of kōzo pulp gently surface in the paper, revealing the rich texture unique to natural materials.

 Its bright and calm tone complements any outfit, blending seamlessly into daily life with understated elegance.

Things you should know when using a Japanese umbrella

When folding an umbrella and holding it in your hand or placing it down, it is best to fold it with the top facing up and the handle facing down, the opposite of a Western umbrella.

If the top is facing down, water will get inside the umbrella and it will be more likely to tear.

Also, if it gets wet in a sudden rain shower, avoid direct sunlight and dry it thoroughly in the shade in a well-ventilated place.

There are also several other precautions for using Japanese umbrellas that differ from Western umbrellas, so be sure to read the instruction manual that comes with the product carefully.
