Just in time for this year's cherry blossoms!
Previously, cherry blossom Japanese umbrellas could only be sold on a made-to-order basis, but we have prepared some just in time for this year's cherry blossoms so you can use them right away.

The cherry blossom umbrellas have become a hot topic on social media.
This cherry blossom umbrella was originally made in January 2019 as a gift for Emily Blunt, star of the film "Mary Poppins," but it has now been remade as an original with different colors.
The cherry blossom shape requires a great deal of skill and effort to make, and is a one-of-a-kind Japanese umbrella made with Mino handmade washi paper, inspired by Japanese cherry blossoms, and made with the utmost luxury.

The surface is made of different shades of Japanese paper, hemp leaf watermark paper, and plum blossom crest washoku paper.
The inside is double-layered with Japanese paper, each piece of which has been hand-dyed by Kawai to create a gradation effect.
The texture of the washi paper shining through the sunlight and the transparent pink gradation are breathtakingly beautiful.
You can enjoy the delicate expression of cherry blossoms in various ways depending on the angle from which you view them.
It conveys the elegance, gentleness and splendor of Japan's most famous cherry blossom, Somei Yoshino.
Even when closed, it has the distinctive shape that is unique to cherry blossoms.
The bones are also painted with a gradation from white to pink.
No matter where you look, you will be captivated and never get bored.

This item can be used for a long time as an item to add flowers (cherry blossoms) to important commemorations such as weddings, the Shichi-Go-San ceremony when a child is born, school entrance ceremonies, coming-of-age ceremonies, etc.

This is a parasol and cannot be used on rainy days.

All Gifu Japanese umbrellas are carefully made one by one by the hands of craftsmen.

It takes over two months to make one Japanese umbrella.

Japanese umbrellas, which are said to be ``open as flowers, closed as bamboo'', are traditional Japanese crafts that are filled with the skill of craftsmen and attention to detail.

Each Japanese umbrella is created through numerous production processes that last over two months.

The thoughtfulness of craftsmen and traditional techniques create delicate beauty.

The framework of a Japanese umbrella is made from a piece of bamboo that is split evenly and assembled so that when the umbrella is folded, it returns to its original shape.

The moment you open it, the colors of the Japanese paper and the delicate threads create a beautiful shadow that surrounds the person holding it.
All of these are the only Japanese umbrellas in the world, created through the painstaking work of craftsmen.
