This special type of parasol, called ajiroi, has two crossed eaves threads that create a beautiful jagged appearance at the eaves.
Made using Mino handmade washi paper dyed with persimmon tannins from Kosoushi Kobo.
By repeatedly applying undiluted persimmon tannin and iron mordant to the fabric in an uneven manner, the color becomes even more subdued and deep.
The washi paper has been kneaded to give it a wrinkled finish, giving it a rich, tasteful appearance.
Persimmon tannin has the property of darkening in color over time, allowing you to enjoy the changes that occur over time.
The stitching is beige, which blends in with the bamboo ribs.
The handle is made from high-quality female bamboo, and is characterized by its smooth texture and lightness.

[About restocks and orders]
Since many of our Japanese umbrellas are one-of-a-kind, even if they are "sold out," they are still listed as sample umbrellas. If you would like an umbrella with the exact same specifications, please contact us by email. Also, if you would like to order an original specification, there may be an additional order fee. Please contact us.

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.
