Column:Introduction to WAGASA (traditional Japanese umbrella)

Bangasa, or coarse oil paper umbrella is stronger and stouter than Authentic Janome, or high quality oil paper rain umbrella, which comes in color of white.
It used to be a typical rain gear for home. The word of Ban used for Bangasa, Ban-cha, or coarse green teas, or obanzai, or home daily dishes prepared, means daily used, or simple and humble. This can be said to represent a Japanese Culture.

Here comes an origin of Bangasa as well: one is that the umbrella maker who made an umbrella stamped his seal of name (pronounced as han or ban) on Bangasa umbrella.Another is that Japanese inns stamped the number one by one on their spare umbrellas (rental for free charge) so that those umbrellas will not be lost. Today, some Japanese high quality inns actively use Bangas a as their spare (or rental) umbrellas.

The longer Bangasa is used, the more lighter- candy colored Bangasa turns , into the one of deep taste . In recent years, some males revived Bangasa, enjoying the unique atmosphere of Bangasa not experienced in western-style rain umbrellas. it is nice to hear the pattering sound of Bangasa.
