The simplicity of the materials - Japanese paper, bamboo, and wood - makes this an attractive umbrella.
It is a little heavy because of its large rokuro and thick bone.

The black eaves paper gives a chic impression.
The translucency of the white washi paper is beautiful.
The Japanese paper turns yellow with age.

The unique feature of Sakaida Eikichi Honten is that the hajiki has a two-step specification.

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.
