Manual opening is always popular, and we often hear comments like "The sound it makes when you open it is great!" and "It's light!"
On the other hand, we also receive many requests from customers such as, "I have a lot of luggage, so I want an umbrella that I can open with one hand," or "I'd like an umbrella that opens with a button so I don't have to use much hand strength."
So, this time I would like to introduce you to the extremely functional and convenient "one-touch umbrella (jump umbrella)".
Until now, the one-touch umbrella was only available in a 65cm size from the Miratore men's series, which is made of ultra-water-repellent fabric, but a 58cm one-touch umbrella has now been added to the women's line of the same series.
This time we will introduce both of them.
First, let me introduce you to the fabric "Miratore" that is used in both one-touch umbrellas.
What is Miratore?
"Miratore" is an ultra-water-repellent fabric developed by Toray Industries, Inc., and is a fine denier, high-density woven fabric.
It drains water amazingly well, so you don't have to worry about water droplets when you fold the umbrella, and the sound of rainwater splashing off resonates like a drum, making it comfortable to use even on the most dreary rainy days.
The fabric is soft to the touch and easy to put together, and its light weight gives it a slim silhouette; this series is popular with both men and women as it pursues functionality and simple beauty.

At 65cm, this one-touch umbrella is just the right size for men. Combined with the water-repellent fabric, this long umbrella is convenient and comfortable to use, making it popular among men.
It is also recommended for those who carry a lot of luggage every day or who travel frequently by car.
Additionally, it is relatively affordable among our Japanese-made long umbrellas for men, making it a popular gift choice for men in your life.

2. Women's jump umbrellas
Miratore 58cm 8 ribs
This is a new one-touch umbrella for women. It is 58cm in size, so it is a functional umbrella that will come in handy when it rains.
It's easy to use after shopping, and even those with small children can open it with one hand, which is a plus.
People often say that one-touch umbrellas are heavy, but this umbrella is light at just 340g and comes in a wide variety of colors, so you can carry it around in style to match your outfit.

The above two items are Japanese-made one-touch umbrellas (jump umbrellas) currently on sale.
Although this type of umbrella is not commonly seen in Japan, our Japanese-made umbrellas, including the one-touch type, are carefully made by craftsmen, so they make a great gift.
Even if you normally use a manual umbrella, we think you will find it useful to have a one-touch umbrella so that you can use it depending on the situation, so we hope you will consider this as well.
You can see the actual product at our Higashi-Nihonbashi shop, so please feel free to come by if you are interested.
We hope you will continue to support Komiya Shoten's Western-style umbrellas.
