Handcrafted Japanese Miniature Wagasa
This charming handcrafted piece is a miniature Japanese wagasa (traditional Japanese umbrella) designed for decorative display. The umbrella features delicate white washi paper decorated with hand-printed botanical motifs in soft green and coral red, evoking the beauty of seasonal Japanese flowers and foliage.
Natural bamboo ribs and a wooden support add warmth and authenticity, while the dark brown and yellow detailing at the top creates a beautiful contrast against the light paper. The umbrella is mounted on a simple wooden base, allowing it to be displayed as a small piece of Japanese craft and décor.
