Hello.
We've been having hot and humid days lately, how are you all doing?
The rainy season is coming soon.
The ultra-water-repellent "Miratore" series of Japanese umbrellas is recommended for this time of year.
The other day I wrote a blog post about "How to choose a ladies' umbrella," so this time I would like to introduce how to choose a men's Miratore umbrella.
About Miratore
We have already introduced this in the ladies' section, but we'll briefly introduce it again here.
"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; it is a popular series with both men and women, pursuing functionality and simple beauty.
In fact, most of the staff at Komiya Shoten are also fans of Miratore.
It's lightweight, convenient and easy to use, and once you use it you won't want to let it go!
So, let me start by introducing the long umbrella.
First, the standard 65cm 16-rib
This is the most popular 16-rib type of Miratore men's long umbrella.
This umbrella has many ribs, making it strong, but because the ribs are made of carbon, it is light and easy to hold.
When opened, it has a nearly circular silhouette, which looks beautiful and is also appealing because it comes in a wide variety of colors.

One-touch (jump umbrella) 65cm 8 ribs
This is the only one-touch (jump) type umbrella made in Japan for men.
This long umbrella can be easily opened with one hand at the press of a button, making it ideal for people who carry a lot of luggage or who travel by car a lot.
One-touch, super water-repellent, and extremely easy to use.

Large and slim 70cm 8 ribs
This large 70cm long umbrella is made from carbon fiber not only for the ribs but also the center pole, making it lightweight despite its size.
It also comes with a storage bag, which makes it convenient to take inside buildings, and when closed it creates a slim silhouette.
This umbrella combines style and functionality, making it perfect for business situations and can also be used as a fashion accessory.
This product is no longer available.
Maximum coverage! 70cm 16 ribs
This is the largest Japanese-made umbrella at 70cm.
It has 16 ribs and a diameter of 122 cm, making it recommended for people who usually carry a lot of luggage or are tall.
Although it is a large umbrella, it still retains the beautiful silhouette created by the craftsmen.

There are four types of long umbrellas.
Now let's introduce folding umbrellas.
Strong 10 ribs 60cm 10 ribs
This is the most popular folding umbrella in the Miratore series.
This umbrella was selected for "The Wonder 500" in 2015 and 2016, a project certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry that selects excellent local products that Japan can be proud of and promotes them to the world, and it is a popular gift choice.
It is 60cm long and has 10 ribs, making it the perfect size for a man to carry around, and the many ribs make it highly wind resistant.
This umbrella can also be customized with a curved handle (additional charge of 2,200 yen), so it can be customized to your liking.
Convenient to carry around, 55cm, 8 ribs
This is a 55cm unisex folding umbrella.
It folds up to less than 60cm and is therefore recommended for people who normally carry a small bag or who want to keep an umbrella in their bag at all times.
It comes in a wide range of colors and has an attractive silhouette that resembles a long umbrella when opened.

Easy to open and close, 58cm, 8-rib
This is also a unisex folding umbrella.
This is the only Japanese-made folding umbrella from Komiya Shoten that is easy to open and close, so you don't have to break any ribs when folding it.
Once you're done using it, you can fold it up by simply lowering the wheel part, making this an umbrella recommended for people who don't like folding things.
The umbrella is a little large when folded, but it has a string that can be threaded through the umbrella case, so you can hang it on the handle of your bag if you like.
The curved handle is stylish and makes the umbrella easy to hold even when open.

There are three folding umbrellas listed above.
All the umbrellas are made from the same fabric, but the functions and features vary depending on the combination of ribs and handles, so we hope this will be helpful when choosing an umbrella.
Currently, the above umbrellas are on sale at the Higashi Nihonbashi Shop and Rakuten Market Store (some products are also on sale at the Yahoo! Store and Amazon Store).
We also provide gift wrapping and name engraving, so please consider this as a gift at this time of year.
We look forward to your visit!
