Wagasa with Korean Designs

Wagasa (和傘) are traditional Japanese umbrellas crafted from materials like bamboo and washi paper. Their history is closely intertwined with cultural exchange between Japan and other East Asian countries, including Korea.

Wagasa are believed to have originated in ancient China and were initially used by nobles for shade and as talismans. They were introduced to Japan, potentially via Korea, around the 6th century, along with Buddhist culture.
