Mino handmade washi paper, kneaded and creased, is coated with gofun (a pigment made from powdered seashells used in Japanese painting) to create a white finish, reminiscent of a snow-capped mountain.
At first glance, it appears to be plain white washi paper, but the unevenly dyed gofun provides a beautiful accent.
The transparency created by the oiled washi paper is stunning.
Over time, the washi paper will develop an amber hue.
The orange color of the nochi-gami (canopy paper) evokes a sense of warmth.
This Japanese umbrella can be used stylishly by anyone, regardless of gender or age.

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.
