This is a staff member at Komiya Shoten.
Currently, the world is in a difficult situation due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus, and I believe that every day is filled with anxiety.
The Governor of Tokyo has warned us to avoid the three "Cs," and I myself always try to maintain a distance from others.
The other day, I was casually browsing the news on the Internet when I came across some surprising information.
It turns out that parasols and umbrellas are great items for avoiding crowded places!
It is said that by walking around with an umbrella when it is raining and with a parasol when it is not raining, you can maintain social distancing (maintain a certain distance from those around you).
Ever since I joined Komiya Shoten, I've been thinking about umbrellas a lot, but I'd never thought of using one in this way, so it was a surprise!
Especially now, when UV rays are at their strongest, using a parasol allows you to maintain a certain distance from others while also protecting yourself from UV rays, killing two birds with one stone.
Also, since it can be difficult to get close to someone who is holding an umbrella, it's a good idea to use an umbrella when walking with two or more people, as it allows you to naturally maintain a distance without hurting the other person.
If you have to go out to buy groceries or daily necessities, an umbrella is one way to avoid crowds, so we hope you will make use of it.
If you use your favorite umbrella at that time, I'm sure your mood will be brightened.
These are difficult times, but I hope that it is precisely at times like these that we can find even a little joy.
