Hello, this is Tagawa.
With the scorching heat every day, the word "parasol" is being heard every day at our Higashi-Nihonbashi shop.
Thankfully, in addition to female customers, the number of male customers visiting our store has been increasing year by year since about two years ago, and we feel that men's parasols are gradually becoming more popular as the heat of Japan's summer continues. 
Tracing history, umbrellas first appeared as umbrellas used by attendants of high-ranking people such as members of the imperial family and aristocrats.
It is said that this was meant to provide shade as well as ward off evil spirits.
After that, Japanese umbrellas became popular in Japan, and stylish parasols used as fashion accessories by both men and women became popular.
In this way, umbrellas were used by many people in the past as parasols. 
However, in today's Japan, parasols are still not used as frequently as umbrellas.
I hope to be able to convey even more of the appeal of parasols (umbrellas that can be used in both rain and shine).
So this time, we would like to introduce a unisex parasol (umbrella that can be used in both rain and shine) that is popular at Komiya Shoten.

We hope that the culture of parasols will spread further, and we will continue to strive to create umbrellas that will make people think, "I want to have one!"
