    Shima-tsumugi : Series Concept

    A refreshing striped pattern with a tasteful feel

    The fabric in this series is made from yarn-dyed polyester yarn woven into a knotty tsumugi-style weave to create a striped pattern. The combination of refreshing colors makes you feel like you are in nature. The rough weave gives it a handmade feel.

    Sun and rain umbrella A waterproof parasol for both rain and shine

    The fabric is treated to cut UV rays (protect against ultraviolet rays) as well as to be water-repellent and water-resistant. This is a rain and sun umbrella that can be used primarily as a parasol but can also be used as an umbrella in the rain. (If used for a long time in heavy rain, rainwater may seep through the umbrella fabric.)

    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.

    A rain or shine umbrella made of polyester that recreates the luxurious feel of pongee.

    We have recreated the luxurious texture of tsumugi fabric using polyester, resulting in a fabric that combines the luster of polyester with the rough texture of the weave.

    About the handle

    Lightweight, non-slip bamboo handle

    The handle is made of bamboo, which is very familiar in Japan, and has been burnt to create a compact shape. It has many joints, so it is not slippery when held, and is hollow inside, so it is very light. It comes with a genuine leather tassel of the same color, which gives it a luxurious feel.

    • Compact, lightweight, and durable bi-fold

      The combination of light and compact fabric, ribs and handles creates a high-quality yet lightweight folding umbrella. The sturdy bi-fold design and beautiful umbrella shape are also appealing.

    • 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.
