Kiwami Tomoe – Genkyō

A quiet resonance formed by black and gold.

This rain umbrella is crafted using the traditional Tomoe motif—
a design of flowing, circular movement that has long symbolized the circulation of energy and harmony.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The base features deep black Kurotani washi handmade in Kyoto.
Layered over it are rakusui paper with a hemp leaf pattern and hand-made yellow washi.

Rakusui paper is created by dropping water onto freshly formed sheets, leaving delicate traces that form rich and expressive textures.

The hemp leaf motif has long been cherished as an auspicious pattern symbolizing growth and prosperity.

The depth of black and the flowing lines of gold create a sense of movement,
enhancing the dynamic beauty of the Tomoe design—especially in the rain.

Presence

Within the quiet atmosphere of rainfall,
this piece reveals a calm yet unmistakable presence.

A wagasa where refined design and craftsmanship resonate—
distinctively Tsujikura.

Kyoto Craftsmanship: Kurotani Washi × Tsujikura
