Hello.
Recently, the number of spring-like days has increased,
We are now receiving many requests for parasols and umbrellas that can be used in both rain and shine.
This time, we will introduce the new "Tokohana" parasol, a product that has been renewed for the season when the sun is a concern!
Tokohana parasols are made of soft linen fabric with a special glue.
This parasol is made using the "washi monzome" technique, which involves covering the fabric with washi paper and dyeing it, to depict the flowers of the trumpet vine.
The three-dimensional expression of the washi paper and the shadows cast by the sunlight create a beautiful silhouette.
It is popular for its beauty that makes you want to wear it every day. 
This "Tokohana" that was released last year has been damaged by processing, and the texture of the washi paper and hemp is lost.
Because the color and hardness can change, we sold it as a natural parasol without any processing. 
However, from the customer,
"This parasol is made of washi paper, so won't it get dirty easily?"
"I'm worried about the smell when I leave my parasol at home in the winter."
"I have children and I'm worried about them spilling drinks."
We received comments such as:
So, in order to encourage such customers to make the most of these parasols, we conducted trial and error, and this year we have succeeded in adding a new "stain-resistant, odor-resistant, antibacterial, and water-repellent finish."
The fabric is made of delicate hemp and washi paper, but each strand is carefully and specially processed to create a
While retaining its unique texture and feel, this umbrella is now easier to use.
Of course, it can also remove dirt such as dust and restaurant odors that are a concern during normal use.
Even if you spill tea or juice, it will bounce right off.
You can use it without worrying about dirt or odors. 
The new "Tokohana" is on sale at our Higashi-Nihonbashi shop and online shop.
Be sure to consider this year's new parasol, which also makes a perfect gift.
