This rare wagasa umbrella is a commemorative item from Nippon Broadcasting's popular late-night radio program "Tam Tam Time," which aired from 1973 to 1979. The umbrella is a nostalgic artifact tied to this iconic Showa-era cultural phenomenon. While its condition shows significant wear and tear, including visible aging, it remains a unique and historically valuable piece for collectors of vintage Japanese memorabilia and Showa-era history.
