Bansaga Japanese Umbrella Dance Performance Large-scale Theater Dance Umbrella

[Size]
Diameter: Approx. 90cm
Total Length: Approx. 80cm

Bansaga are sturdy and practical rain umbrellas made with oiled Japanese paper stretched over thick bamboo ribs. One theory suggests they were named Bansaga because merchants would write their company name or a number on them when lending them to customers.

[Main Features of Bansaga]
They have a bamboo frame covered with oiled or persimmon-tanned Japanese paper. The ribs are thicker than those of Janome-gasa (snake-eye umbrellas), giving them a robust impression.

[Practicality]
They offer excellent waterproofing and can be used as rain umbrellas. They can also be used as parasols to block sunlight.

[Design]
Characterized by a simple, unadorned, and rustic appearance with minimal decoration.

[Uses]
Used as loaner umbrellas at high-class inns, as an accompaniment to Japanese clothing, or for stylish use on rainy days.

[Origin of the Name]
A prominent theory suggests the name originates from merchants writing their company name or a number like No. X on them when lending them to customers.

[Decorative Aspect]
While Janome-gasa have high decorative value with patterns resembling a snake's eye when opened, Bansaga are simple and not flashy.

[Note]
This item has no particularly large or noticeable scratches or stains, but there are some small tears of a few centimeters. Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item.
