The general style of umbrella ribs is as above, but there are also other special umbrellas.
Pagoda (a bone with a cone-shaped shape and a raised top), Square (a square-shaped bone),
There are also umbrellas for two people (with ribs designed to fit two people).

② Representative product bone size

The size of the bone refers to the length from the tip to the wheel.
The typical sizes are as shown above, but small bones such as 40 cm and large bones such as 85 cm can also be seen.
Generally, if you mainly use an umbrella, men should wear 65-70cm (60-65cm for folding umbrellas),
We think that the ideal size for women is 55cm to 60cm (50cm to 55cm for folding umbrellas).
If you plan to use a parasol primarily, we recommend a size that is 5cm smaller than the above for both men and women.

Umbrellas with many ribs are called "Takengasa",
The more bones there are, the stronger it is against the wind and the more circular its shape becomes.
Umbrellas with fewer ribs are lighter and have a slimmer silhouette when folded.
Therefore, one of the characteristics of Western umbrellas is that the design of the umbrella changes depending on the number of ribs, even if the fabric is the same.
