This is a much older Chinese method of making Chinese-styled youzhisan umbrellas that was then introduced to Japan and copied 1200 years ago. Stop blindly promoting the appropriation of culture and give credit to where they come from.

In recent years, some people have been passing off Chinese-made umbrellas (karakasa)as Japanese umbrellas.(wagasa) In Japan, there is a way to distinguish a Japanese umbrella from a Chinese one. The way to tell them apart is to look at the detailed structure.

He felt shame not knowing about his home country when asked about Japan, but... all things came to be, because now he's representing Japan outside, spreading the culture to others. Funny how things play out in life.

I have two of these. Both were bought in the States at unique stores. The one, I am sure, came directly from Japan, because the owner traveled around the world in the off season when her store was closed. The other probably came from some grandparents' old house. Both are beautiful and durable. Would love to have a little collection.

@mareklakatos588 2023.01.28 21:38

I have a wagasa umbrella and its breath taking not seen one like it on Internet yet !:)

@persephoneblack888 2022.08.22 13:46

I have two of these from the 70s. They're really beautiful. One needs a little repairing of the paper umbrella where it ripped, but both wagasa are in pretty good shape. :) They have designs painted on them. I absolutely love them (I purchased both at a yardsale for a couple dollars a piece).

@adrianhartanto159 2022.07.13 19:40

I rember my family buying one of these umbrellas on our trip to Japan it was bought from a shop near a temple I think. Yea it's expensive I belive ours was 250 ish dollars but it looks great and functions well.
