Keep it long, treasure it long.

The beauty of each material

Parasols are a necessity not only to surpass the heat of the midsummer sunshine and heat, but also in the spring when ultraviolet rays become stronger.
What kind of parasols are more female than parasols? I am worried. Here are three of them that are designed for appearance, function, and ease of use.

More functional and more beautiful

Having a parasol is, above all, a little cool when you go out, protecting your skin from UV rays, and making it a summer-like belonging.
If you are looking for coolness, light-colored fabrics and natural fabrics (cotton, hemp, silk, etc.) are recommended for the parasol fabric, and the heat from the sun is stored inside the fiber. There is a feature that it is difficult to pass through the back side.
The three types to be introduced are made of hemp and cotton materials, and are selected with a fabric that will keep you in touch while looking for coolness. Also, in summer, you will want to enjoy colorful and colorful colors in your clothes even in the four seasons, so it is easy to match colors and colors that give you a cool look. And UV measures that should not be forgotten. Since the fabric is treated with UV water repellency, UV protection is also perfect and has the effect of being resistant to contamination, so you can use bright colors with confidence.

The unfolded size is a standard size that is 47cm long enough to avoid the sun and easy to use. When closed and carried around, it's one size smaller than an umbrella, so it looks neat. The folding type is of course convenient, but the beautiful appearance when the umbrella is spread is important, and it is introduced as a long type as an umbrella that becomes a landscape.
The handle is made of white wood rattan material and has a calm atmosphere that can be adjusted to Japanese clothes. In addition, potter's wheel and the part that goes up and down when opening and closing are decorated with a potter's wheel, giving a luxurious finish with the feeling of handwork. It is a parasol that feels the best of a craftsman who has devised a casual part when opening and closing or closing it on the go.

Umbrella making process

The umbrella was made by an umbrella craftsman who specializes in bespoke umbrellas, founded in 1973. A studio that handles custom-made umbrellas for many apparel brands, and continues to make umbrellas to make them more accessible and fun.
Umbrella making was completed through seven major processes, since the dough was carefully checked by hand, from dough cutting to attaching individual parts.

◆ Inspection and cutting
While spreading the fabric used for the umbrella and shining light from the back, check the fabric for unevenness and scratches. Then cut to the size of the umbrella.

◆ over the top
I use a special sewing machine to paint the end of the fabric into a honey roll. The work of thinning a sewing machine involves technology.

◆ Triangle cutting
Cut the dough according to the triangular wooden frame that matches the eight bones.

◆ Booth inspection
"Booth" refers to the cut fabric. Check again for scratches or holes in the booth.

◆ Sew
Stitch the booth with a special sewing machine. If you sew together the vertices of the triangle, you will get a beautiful finish.

◆ Saddle stitch
From here it is the work to fit the dough to the umbrella bone, but all the sewing is done by hand.

◆ At hand
Finally, attach the handle to the umbrella and you're done.

In all of this, an umbrella made by hand is different from an umbrella bought in a makeshift manner, where one looks at the details and imagines the handwork. It is not a umbrella that is often found in mass-produced towns, but a new umbrella for handicrafts.

Umbrella that becomes landscape

Nowadays, the number of easy-to-use vinyl umbrellas continues to increase, and the number of handmade umbrella craftsmen in Japan is decreasing year by year.
A long-established umbrella that has been making umbrellas that are packed with great care and attention for more than 70 years, like coordinating clothes and changing the style of a room.
Umbrella craftsmen with the best technology in Japan and their commitment and skill, hope that they can be used carefully, and umbrellas that are carefully finished one by one will add color to everyday life. And, in order to be used for a long time, thorough aftercare such as troubles and breakdowns that occurred while using it is also thorough. Since it is an umbrella that will be replaced later, you will be pleased even if you give a carefully made daily umbrella as a gift.

People who wear umbrellas along riversides, parks, and summer beaches on rainy days, and colorful umbrellas waiting for traffic lights in the city have the merit of cutting out landscapes. In Japan with four seasons, it would be nice to choose an umbrella that looks good on a rainy day on a rainy day and a blue sky under the summer sunshine.

Why do not you wear an umbrella that enjoys the season while feeling the handicraft of a Japanese craftsman under the summer sky?
