Japanese umbrella 'Nomikomu'
Japanese Umbrella 'Nomikomu' — Classic Everyday Wagasa Parasol
The name Nomikomu captures something essential about everyday Japanese umbrellas — they're meant to be absorbed into daily life, not treated as precious objects. Traditional wagasa were workhorse items, carried on the walk to market, held up against summer sun during temple visits, folded and propped by the door of every Edo-period household. This is the umbrella in its most ordinary, most cultural form.
What makes the wagasa special isn't its ceremonial grandeur but its daily-use integrity. A properly built wagasa handles regular rain and sun for years, its bamboo frame flexing rather than breaking in wind, its silhouette maintaining the classic Japanese umbrella shape through seasons of use. This is craft designed to serve, not to impress.
Built with a bamboo handle and traditional manufacturing, the Nomikomu measures 80cm in diameter and weighs just 250g. The bamboo provides the traditional feel and natural flex of real wagasa construction, while eco-friendly design principles respect the material sustainability that defines responsible traditional craft.
The Nomikomu works beautifully as an everyday parasol — for walks, commutes, outdoor events, or simply as a distinctive alternative to typical Western umbrellas. It also serves as a meaningful decorative piece when displayed in Japanese-inspired interiors. A thoughtful gift for anyone interested in Japanese daily culture.
