Function and beauty

Plaid long umbrella for both sunny and rainy weather using traditional Koshu woven fabric. It is a high-quality yarn-dyed woven fabric woven in Koshu (Yamanashi Prefecture), and boasts high quality and beauty as it is called Nishijin-ori. By weaving it in a high density and evenly, we have realized a deep glossy color and an elegant and profound texture. The special weaving method that uses twin threads (twisted threads) for the warp threads and single threads (single threads) for the weft threads is a unique feature of Koshu woven fabric, and is considered to be a valuable fabric. This is processed to create an umbrella that has a high-class feel, yet has high water resistance and durability. Furthermore, since it is woven on a very rare narrow loom, there are no perforations on the edges of the fabric and it does not easily fray, so you can use it for a long time.

The ribs are made of hard and lightweight carbon, which is also used for airplane parts. You can rest assured that there will be no rust. The handle uses white ash, which is characterized by its beautiful grain. Durable wood grown in North America, the handle is white ash with a brown paint.
In addition, the long umbrella is specially crafted. The time-consuming specifications that are rarely seen now, such as the potter's wheel that carefully wraps the potter's wheel (the part that is pushed up when opening the umbrella) to protect the fingers, and the dowel that protects the dowel (the part where the bones are connected) with fabric, are available. It is a craftsmanship applied only to luxury items.

With its attractive design and high functionality, it will surely become one of your favorite books that you will want to carry around every day. I think you will be pleased with birthday gifts for women and gifts for Mother's Day.

Sincere manufacturing with a focus on Western umbrellas

KOMIYA is a brand developed by Komiya Shoten, which started in Tokyo in 1930 as a manufacturer of Western umbrellas and shawls. Since its founding, we have been making only Western umbrellas, and we have been making very few domestic umbrellas in Japan. Speaking of umbrellas used by the common people in Japan at that time, "bankasa", which is made by pasting Japanese paper on a bamboo frame and applying oil, is common, and "Western umbrella", which is made of iron bone and covered with cloth such as silk or cotton, is a part of it. It was a luxury ornament that could only have a limited number of layers. Under such circumstances, Komiya Shoten began making Western umbrellas using Koshu Ori from Yamanashi, his hometown. Koshu woven fabric is a fabric produced in the "Koshu production area" that specializes in fine counts, such as umbrella and tie fabrics, and is a woven fabric with a history and tradition that was also called "Kai silk" in ancient times.

After a while, Japan entered the era of war. At Komiya Shoten, the store and home were burned by air raids, and it was difficult to make things as expected due to material control, but after the war, the store was rebuilt in Higashinihonbashi in the burnt field, and from scratch. Departure for reconstruction. In the 30's and 40's of the Showa era, Japan was proud of the world's largest production, consumption and export of umbrellas. In the Higashinihonbashi area, where Komiya Shoten is located, there are more than 70 umbrella shops, and there are many umbrella craftsmen, and the industry is full of energy. After the oil crisis and the bursting of the bubble economy, many companies in the umbrella industry decided to shift their manufacturing focus to Asian countries such as China, where labor costs are low. Many Japanese umbrella craftsmen who have lost their place of activity have been forced out of business, and the umbrella shops that were there also went bankrupt one after another due to price destruction. Nowadays, there are only a few umbrella shops in Tokyo that make umbrellas made in Japan. Komiya Shoten is still able to continue to be an umbrella shop, even though it is being rubbed in the rough seas of the world.

Regardless of the times, we will continue to maintain the tradition of "making high-quality products in-house (within our own eyes)" since our founding, protect quality, and sincerely and sincerely respond to customer requests. And gained trust. Not always satisfied with the current situation, we have interwoven new and innovative technologies such as durability against heavy rain and measures against increasing ultraviolet rays. KOMIYA's umbrella has been protected in such a historical background. Umbrellas made in Japan are certainly expensive, but you can feel the polite handiwork unique to Japanese skilled craftsmen using traditional fabrics and techniques, and you will want to use them for a long time. Why don't you walk in the rainy city with such a KOMIYA umbrella?
