Discover the delicate beauty and cultural depth of the oiled paper umbrella (油纸伞) — a traditional Chinese and East Asian craft that’s quietly making a return in New Zealand’s art circles, heritage festivals, and eco-conscious design markets. Handcrafted with bamboo frames, hand-painted motifs, and waterproofed with natural tung oil, these umbrellas were once essentials for everyday life and ceremonial use across Asia.
In Aotearoa, the oiled paper umbrella is gaining traction not only as a cultural artefact but as a symbol of slow craftsmanship and sustainable living. From Chinese New Year celebrations in Auckland and Dunedin to boutique stores in Wellington featuring curated handmade goods, this umbrella carries a sense of elegance and meaning that resonates with Kiwi values of authenticity and storytelling.
Whether you’re a collector of Asian antiques, a set designer, a sustainable fashion lover, or simply someone drawn to the poetic beauty of hand-painted heritage, the oiled paper umbrella holds a special place. It invites us to pause, reflect, and protect not just from rain — but from the erosion of cultural memory.
NZ Relevance Highlights:
Fits into NZ’s growing appreciation for handmade, natural products

Ideal for film, theatre, and wedding design with East Asian influences
