Though it may be small, the construction, materials and craftsmanship are exactly the same as the real thing!
The product is made of handmade Mino washi paper dyed with Gujo Honzome indigo, a method that has been designated as an intangible cultural asset of Gujo City.

Speaking of sweetfish, it brings to mind the sweetfish of the Nagara River, a clear stream that runs through the center of Gifu City, and the cormorant fishing that takes place every year from May 11th to October 15th.
The indigo-dyed washi paper resembles a deep, clear river, and the image of ayu fish swimming comfortably in the river is depicted on a small Japanese umbrella. The spots (which are normally yellow) above the pectoral fins, one of the characteristics of wild ayu fish, are also depicted.

Anyway, this size is so cute.
Like the parasols, they are made of unoiled Japanese paper, so please be careful not to get them wet.
It opens and closes so it will be delivered in a closed state.

<About ordering>
The sweetfish design is the same, but the color of the washi paper and the color of the stitching are different for each piece. Please refer to the image and choose the desired color of the stitching from the selection tab before placing your order.

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.
