Matsuda Wagasa, established in 1896, is the only wagasa shop that remains and preserves the tradition and technique of the Kanazawa wagasas in Kanazawa today, whilst there were 118 wagasa shops in the olden days. 
The tradition and technique of the Kanazawa wagasas have been inherited by the craftsmen at Matsuda Wagasa Shop, including the third-generation owner: Shigeki Matsuda. Each wages is made by hand, one by one, and it takes more than 2 months to complete the whole process. These precious wagasas are available for purchase at Matsuda Wagasa Shop.
