This is a special type of parasol called "Ajiro" with a beautiful jagged eaves appearance due to two crossed eaves threads.
Mino handmade Japanese paper, which has been wrinkled by rubbing, is coated in white with gofun (a pigment made from shell powder used in Japanese painting). At first glance, it appears to be pure white washi, but when you look through it in the light, it comes to life. It looks like a snow-covered mountain.
The eaves are made of indigo-dyed washi by Gujo Honzome. The layers of eaves paper add to the depth of the indigo color.
The hand rokuro is specially finished with hon-urushi (wipe lacquer).
Brown silk threads are used to match the color of the lacquer.
The surface of the bone is painted in an elegant ivory color.
The handle is detachable with a screw type, so it can be carried compactly.

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.
