Since its founding in 1930, Komiya Shoten has been dedicated to creating umbrellas as part of fashion, with the desire that customers will enjoy them for many years. The tradition of umbrella-crafting continues to this day.
Western-style umbrellas, introduced to Japan during the Late Edo period, have been refined through Japanese craftsmanship and a unique sense of beauty.
Almost a century since our founding, we continue to craft umbrellas to this day. Here, we share our history and our efforts to adapt our work to the changing times.
