The linen also expresses the unique feature of narrow umbrella looms, which have no perforations in the selvedge.
What is unraveling weaving?
First, let me introduce you to unraveling weaving.
Hogushi weaving is one of the weaving techniques used in Koshu weaving, which is made in Yamanashi.
The weaving method in which a printing stencil is applied to a temporary woven fabric made of warp and weft threads, and the fabric is then carefully dyed one color at a time to create the final weave is called "hogushiori."
When the actual weaving is done, the temporary weft threads are removed as the fabric is woven, which causes the dyed patterns to shift slightly, giving the fabric a watercolor look.

Until now, most fabrics woven with this "loose weaving" method have been polyester, but the fabric store that wove this fabric approached us saying, "We'd like to try loose weaving linen," and this project was started.
After much trial and error, and after about two years, they finally created an elegant, cool-looking umbrella fabric.
The elegant and delicate floral linen fabric, combined with the frame and handle, makes this a parasol that can be easily coordinated with both kimonos and Western clothes.
This is a parasol that allows you to enjoy the texture of the material without any processing, so we hope you will use it as a stylish way to provide gentle sun protection, like wearing a cardigan.
We carry long and folding umbrellas.
