Vintage Japanese paper parasol (wagasa) featuring a striking blue and cream concentric circle design with decorative hand-painted floral motifs.
Made in Japan and constructed with traditional bamboo ribs and wooden shaft. A beautiful decorative piece that would make an excellent display item, prop, shop fitting, or addition to a collection of Japanese or Asian-inspired décor.
This is an original vintage example showing genuine age and character throughout.
Condition: Good vintage display condition overall. The parasol opens and displays well. There is age-related wear present including marks, fading, small tears, repairs and losses to the paper covering. The wooden shaft and bamboo ribs show wear from age and use, with some splitting visible to parts of the bamboo framework. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
