Japanese Bamboo Umbrella 'Take-Amino'
Japanese Bamboo Umbrella 'Take-Amino' — Pure Bamboo Wagasa Tradition
Bamboo is so central to Japanese umbrella tradition that the word take appears in wagasa craft terminology throughout. The Take-Amino umbrella honors this pure bamboo heritage — a piece that puts the material at the center of its identity, celebrating the flexible strength and natural beauty that have made bamboo the frame of choice for Japanese umbrellas for over a thousand years.
Different bamboo species serve different purposes in traditional Japanese craft. Mōsō bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is often used for handle work, while finer species provide the ribbing that shapes the canopy. Japanese bamboo craftsmen develop decades of knowledge about which species work best for which applications, knowledge that gets passed down through regional craft traditions.
Built with a genuine bamboo handle and traditional wagasa construction, this umbrella measures 80cm across at 250g. The bamboo provides the characteristic feel of traditional Japanese parasol craft — natural flex, subtle warmth, and the tactile quality that synthetic materials cannot replicate. Eco-friendly design principles respect the sustainability that makes bamboo culture responsible craft.
The Take-Amino works beautifully for outdoor events, photography, garden settings, or as a distinctive everyday parasol. It also serves as a meaningful decorative piece in interiors that emphasize natural materials and traditional craft. A thoughtful gift for anyone drawn to bamboo culture or material-conscious design.
