Mima’s wagasa (Japanese umbrella) is from Mima City in Tokushima Prefecture, which is also known as the “Wagasa no Sato” (Land of wagasa). Around the last year of Tensho era (1586), there were good materials in Mima for making umbrellas, such as bamboo and Japanese paper. Umbrella craftsmen from Mino in Gifu Prefecture were called for manufacture in Mima. Bamboo is used as the bone of an umbrella, with dyed Japanese paper, and it is finished with oil, decoration, and lacquer.
