A long umbrella for rain and sun, made of yarn-dyed, unraveled weave with a focus on the texture of hand-dyed fabric. It is durable and lightweight, with 12 ribs and a beautiful rounded silhouette.
A printing stencil was made with the actual dyed pattern, then the temporary woven warp threads were printed, and finally, the resulting pattern was expressed in a weaved pattern using the "loose weaving" technique in this Koshu-ori umbrella for rain and sun. By removing the temporary woven threads as the fabric is woven, the boundary line fluctuates, creating an umbrella fabric in which the two colors appear to blend together. The color variations incorporate the colors of nature, such as plants and fruits, and the subtle brightness and color make this umbrella easy to match with any lifestyle or modern fashion.
The combination of the cute rounded silhouette of the 12 ribs, the luxurious yet lightweight fabric, and the bamboo handle makes this an umbrella perfect for casual fashion. It's also a great umbrella to wear when going out in a kimono.

Iro Shizuku : Series Concept

"Iro Shizuku" has a beautiful dyeing texture that makes it seem as if the two colors blend together

A printing stencil was made with the actual dyed pattern, then the temporary woven warp threads were printed, and finally, the resulting pattern was expressed in a weaved pattern using the "loose weaving" technique in this Koshu-ori umbrella for rain and sun. By removing the temporary woven threads as the fabric is woven, the boundary line fluctuates, creating an umbrella fabric in which the two colors appear to blend together. The color variations incorporate the colors of nature, such as plants and fruits, and the subtle brightness and color make this umbrella easy to match with any lifestyle or modern fashion.

Rain and sun umbrella UV-protected rain umbrella

The fabric is water-repellent, water-resistant, and UV-resistant. In addition to being fully functional as a rain umbrella, this umbrella can also be used as a parasol, making it a versatile umbrella for both rain and shine.

About the fabric

"Koshu-ori" is attractive for its lustrous sheen and solid feel

The fabric used is "Koshu-ori," which is intricately woven in Yamanashi Prefecture, a famous textile production region with a history of over 400 years.
Koshu-ori is a "pre-dyed" fabric made by weaving extremely fine yarns that have been dyed beforehand into a high density, uniform weave.

This has resulted in a glossy, deep color and an elegant, heavy texture, and the product still boasts high quality today.
The weaving technique that uses double yarn (twisted yarn) for the warp and single yarn (one thread) for the weft is characteristic of Yamanashi textiles, resulting in a fabric that combines luxury and durability.

The production of Koshu-ori fabric begins at a dyer's shop, where the threads are dyed, then goes through a warper, where the threads are arranged into warp threads, before being sewn into fabric at a weaver's shop.
The fabric is carefully woven over a long period of time, and is then treated to be water-repellent, water-resistant, and UV-resistant, before it can finally be used as an umbrella.
In this way, the fabric that has been made by many people is then cut and sewn by craftsmen to make into umbrellas.

Fabric woven on a rare narrow shuttle loom

Fabric woven on a small-width loom, which has become extremely rare among looms, is made by looming the weft thread with a shuttle and folding it back at the edge as it is woven, which creates selvedge at the edge of the fabric.
Since there is no need to sew a large piece of fabric to fit the width of the umbrella, there are no perforations, so it looks smart and stylish, and you don't have to worry about fraying even if you use it for a long time.

Also, because the shuttle loom moves slowly and carefully, making a clanging sound, it takes longer than usual to finally complete a piece of fabric.

Careful printing using a brush

In the unraveled weaving printing process, the colors are applied one by one to the temporary woven warp threads. By using a "brush" to dye, it is possible to express the shades and the detailed design of the printing mold, and to express the texture of actual hand dyeing. In addition, for this design, the dye will bleed if the printing mold is used repeatedly, so the dye was carefully wiped off the mold after each dyeing, and everything was dyed by hand.

About the handle

Lightweight, non-slip bamboo handle

This piece is made from bamboo, which is very familiar in Japan, and has a burnt finish.
It has many joints, which makes it less slippery when held, and it is hollow inside, which makes it very light.

名入れについて : No

  • A lightweight and durable 12-rib long umbrella

    The umbrella has many ribs, but is still lightweight. It is durable, easy to use, and a beautiful umbrella that goes well with any fashion.

  • Rokuro winding and dowel winding

    The part that moves up and down when opening and closing the umbrella is called the "rokuro" and the joint part of the bone is called the "dabo."
    The process of protecting each of these parts with the umbrella fabric is called "rokuromaki" and "dabomaki," and each part is carefully attached and covered to protect your hands when opening the umbrella and to prevent damage to the ribs, while also creating a traditional beauty and sense of luxury.
    This is an old-fashioned technique that is time-consuming and therefore not seen much these days, but all of Komiya Shoten's long umbrellas are equipped with it.

  • Ribs and Shaft

    The ribs are made of the lightest and hardest carbon fiber material. It is a very light material, yet extremely strong and wind resistant. It is also a rust-free material, making it easy to maintain on a daily basis.
    The center rod is made of aluminum.
    It is a very lightweight material that does not rust and is therefore easy to maintain.
