Janome Wagasa — Twirlable Japanese Umbrella (Red / Black / Indigo) | VRChat · Modular Avatar

LAUNCH OFFER

Regular price: $10 USD. Use code WAGASA1 at checkout for $1 off ($9 USD) during the first week after release.

Hold it, open it, twirl it.
A traditional Japanese janome umbrella that appears in a swirl of cherry blossoms.

Place a temari ball or a wooden masu box on the open canopy and spin —
they roll and tumble on top, just like the classic kasa-mawashi street performance.
Comes in three colors: Shu (vermilion red), Kuro (black) and Ai (indigo).

Features

・Summon: appears in your right hand in a swirl of sakura petals and sparkles
・Open / Close: smooth open-and-close in about one second, with a puff of petals
・Twirl: spins the umbrella while cherry blossoms scatter from the rim
・Spin speed: adjust from slow to fast with a radial puppet
・Kasa-mawashi tricks: put a temari ball and/or a masu box on top — the ball rolls, the masu tumbles corner over corner (use one or both)
・Dismiss: vanishes with a scatter of petals

Craftsmanship

・40 bamboo ribs and oiled washi paper dyed in the "snake-eye" ring pattern
・Paper fibres, subtle sheet-to-sheet colour variation, and paper that glows when backlit
・Five-colour thread lacing inside, head cap and kappa cover, lacquered tip, rattan-wrapped handle
・When closed, the paper folds neatly between the ribs and is tied with a cord
