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. The UV protection and shading rates vary slightly depending on the color, but all colors have a UV protection rate of over 95%.

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.

The lines and color of the edges are accentuated

The "Kasane" series features colorful variations that will brighten your mood even on rainy days, and the edge design will add an accent to your fashion. Please use it as a focal point of your outfit.

About the handle

A round, tortoiseshell-like handle that's easy to hold

The handle is made from a combination of maple and acrylic.
The curved part that comes into contact with your hand is made of acrylic processed to look like tortoiseshell, and the part that fits together with the umbrella is made of natural maple wood.
The combination of the two and the brown tassel give the handle a somewhat retro feel.
With its rounded silhouette and beautiful color, the folding umbrella can be held securely just like a long umbrella.

名入れについて : Only small plates are available

  • A sturdy two-fold umbrella

    When opened, it is as large as a long umbrella, making it a durable, long-selling folding umbrella that can be used even on rainy days. The beautiful double-fold silhouette brings out the lustrous luster of Koshu weave, making it a perfect gift.

  • You can carry your umbrella without having to fold it.

    This folding umbrella is designed so that the tip of the umbrella fits into a groove in the handle, so you can carry it with the ribs extended.
    This eliminates the hassle of having to fold up a wet umbrella, and you can store it away after it dries when you get home.

  • Ribs and Shaft

    The ribs are made of lightweight and durable fiberglass material. It has a moderate thickness and flexibility, so it is lightweight but strong against wind. It is also a rust-free material, so it is 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.
