Sashikake umbrellas, similar to the Bangasa, are large traditional umbrellas. The term 'Sashikake' in Japanese signifies an umbrella 'held for someone.' Originally, the Sashikake was held above the head of nobles or sacred individuals, signifying their importance. For this purpose, it features an elongated handle. Even today, it remains in use at temples, shrines, and traditional events in Japan. At Shinto shrines, white Sashikake umbrellas are commonly seen, while temples often feature red ones. They serve not only as ceremonial items but also function as umbrellas to shield from rain and sun.
Beyond its utility against rain and sun, the Sashikakegasa symbolizes the status of a sacred or noble person. At Ise Jingu, during various festivals, processions featuring dozens of priests with white wagasa can be observed.
The Wagasa is considered a symbol of good fortune, commonly used in events, including contemporary occasions such as Japanese-style weddings.The available colors are white and red.
