Just in time for this year's cherry blossoms!
Previously, cherry blossom 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This cherry blossom umbrella was originally made in January 2019 as a gift for Emily Blunt, star of the film "Mary Poppins," but it has now been remade as an original with different colors.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 create, 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 paper is double-layered, and the front side is switched between three colors: pink, light pink, and openwork paper (hemp leaf and shippo). The gradation on the inside is also expressive with light and dark, giving the petals a sense of depth.
And, look at the petals fluttering about! This is the first time we've tried this, and it's impressive how much effort went into making the petals look different when viewed from the outside and when viewed from the inside shining light through them.
The stitching is done using glossy moss green silk thread.
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.
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.
