Kiwami Tsukiyakko – Asagi

Where stillness becomes color.
A soft yet deep green that blends seamlessly into the air.
Quiet, refined, and grounded in enduring beauty.

Kiwami Tsukiyakko – Asagi

A quiet morning.
Soft light gently fills the space, while wind and sound settle into harmony.

Asagi is a rain umbrella that captures this sense of clarity and calm.

It features Tsujikura’s traditional Tsukiyakko crescent design.
The flowing arc creates a subtle tension within stillness, resulting in a refined and balanced composition.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The umbrella is crafted using white Unryu washi handmade in Kurotani, Kyoto.
Its flowing fibers create soft shadows and depth, giving the surface a rich and organic expression.

The base layer features rakusui paper with a chrysanthemum arabesque pattern.
Over this, a layer of hand-made pine-needle green washi is carefully applied.

The overlapping of white and green produces a delicate shift in tone—
subtle, yet deeply memorable.

Presence

Not a beauty that seeks attention,
but one that quietly accompanies everyday life.

With each use,
its understated charm reveals itself more deeply.

Kyoto Craftsmanship: Kurotani Washi × Tsujikura

Kurotani Washi, produced in Ayabe, Kyoto, is a rare handmade paper crafted sheet by sheet by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations.

Renowned for its strength and durability, it is even used in the restoration of cultural properties.

This piece brings together the finest Kurotani washi with the expertise of Tsujikura’s master craftsmen, resulting in a truly exceptional janome umbrella.

A collaboration of two Kyoto traditions—
offering a piece of quiet luxury.
