Please choose your favorite. Traditional Japanese umbrellas are made from natural materials such as washi paper, bamboo, wood, linseed oil, lacquer, persimmon tannin, and tapioca. Each umbrella is crafted over several weeks to several months, passing through the hands of specialized bamboo frame makers, washi paper makers, and umbrella makers. These are handcrafted master umbrellas, each made with meticulous care by skilled Japanese umbrella artisans. Because traditional Japanese paper umbrellas (bangasa) are coated with waterproof oil, you can enjoy their translucent quality even on rainy days. After use, please air dry them thoroughly in the shade before storing them. We do not recommend using traditional Japanese paper umbrellas (bangasa or bangasa) as parasols because they do not offer long-term UV protection. Exposure to sunlight will cause the oil coating on the paper to yellow and deteriorate. Always keep your paper umbrella upright! When leaning your umbrella against something, make sure the handle is down and the top is facing upwards. The most important part of a Japanese umbrella to protect is the top where the paper (raincoat) covers it. This is where the "rokuro," a wooden part that is the core of the umbrella and is made up of bundled bamboo, is located. If the rokuro rots from rainwater or breaks from impact, it cannot be repaired. Dance umbrellas can be as props for photography, as well as for interior decoration in shops and rooms. A single Japanese umbrella instantly creates a vibrant impression, making it ideal for photo shoots on special occasions such as Shichi-Go-San (a traditional Japanese rite of passage for children) or as a prop to add a touch of elegance. They can be in a wide range of applications, including dance and festival costumes, theatrical props, shop decorations, displays, and cosplay.
