A functional two-way folding umbrella that can be used in both rain and shine and can also be used as a long umbrella.
 A printing stencil was made with the actual dyed pattern, then the temporary woven warp threads were printed, and finally, the resulting pattern was expressed in a weaved pattern using the "loose weaving" technique in this Koshu-ori umbrella for rain and sun. By removing the temporary woven threads as the fabric is woven, the boundary line fluctuates, creating an umbrella fabric in which the two colors appear to blend together. The color variations incorporate the colors of nature, such as plants and fruits, and the subtle brightness and color make this umbrella easy to match with any lifestyle or modern fashion.
 The umbrella has a name band on both the front and back, so it can be used as a long umbrella. It can be used functionally even after being used in the rain.
*Please note that due to the characteristics of the fabric, there may be individual differences in the design of the umbrella case.

    Iro Shizuku : Series Concept

    "Iro Shizuku" has a beautiful dyeing texture that makes it seem as if the two colors blend together

    A printing stencil was made with the actual dyed pattern, then the temporary woven warp threads were printed, and finally, the resulting pattern was expressed in a weaved pattern using the "loose weaving" technique in this Koshu-ori umbrella for rain and sun. By removing the temporary woven threads as the fabric is woven, the boundary line fluctuates, creating an umbrella fabric in which the two colors appear to blend together. The color variations incorporate the colors of nature, such as plants and fruits, and the subtle brightness and color make this umbrella easy to match with any lifestyle or modern fashion.

    Rain and sun umbrella ｜ UV-cut umbrella

    The fabric is water-repellent, water-resistant, and UV-resistant. In addition to being fully functional as an umbrella, this umbrella can also be used as a parasol, making it a versatile umbrella for both rain and shine. The UV protection and shading rates vary slightly depending on the color, but all colors have a UV protection rate of over 95%.

    About the fabric

    "Koshu-ori" is attractive for its lustrous sheen and solid feel

    The fabric used is "Koshu-ori," which is intricately woven in Yamanashi Prefecture, a famous textile production region with a history of over 400 years.
    Koshu ori is a "pre-dyed" fabric made by weaving extremely fine yarns that have been dyed beforehand into a high density, uniform weave.

    This has resulted in a glossy, deep color and an elegant, heavy texture, and the product still boasts high quality today.
    The weaving technique that uses double yarn (twisted yarn) for the warp and single yarn (one thread) for the weft is characteristic of Yamanashi textiles, resulting in a fabric that combines luxury and durability.

    The production of Koshu-ori fabric begins at a dyer's shop, where the threads are dyed, then goes through a warper, where the threads are arranged into warp threads, before being sewn into fabric at a weaver's shop.
    The fabric is carefully woven over a long period of time, and is then treated to be water-repellent, water-resistant, and UV-resistant, before it can finally be used as an umbrella.
    In this way, the fabric that has been made by many people is then cut and sewn by craftsmen to make into umbrellas.

    The traditional Koshu-ori technique "Hogushiori-ori"

    The temporarily woven warp threads are dyed one by one with a printing stencil, and the colors are carefully layered and dyed.
    The weaving technique in which a weft thread is set on a narrow shuttle loom and used to weave the fabric is called "hogushi-ori."
    When the actual weaving begins, the temporary weft threads are removed and the threads are loosened by hand while weaving.
    A distinctive feature of this technique is that the dyed patterns are subtly shifted, making them look like watercolor paintings.
    Enjoy the warm and soft look that is different from prints.

    In addition, narrow shuttle looms are extremely rare, and the weft thread is woven by beating it in with a shuttle and then folded back, which results in selvedge on the edges of the fabric.
    Since there is no need to sew a large piece of fabric to fit the width of the umbrella, there are no perforations, so it looks smart and stylish, and another attractive feature is that you don't have to worry about it fraying even if you use it for a long time.

    Careful printing using a brush

    In the unraveled weaving printing process, the colors are applied one by one to the temporary woven warp threads. By using a "brush" to dye, it is possible to express the shades and the detailed design of the printing mold, and to express the texture of actual hand dyeing. In addition, for this design, the dye will bleed if the printing mold is used repeatedly, so the dye was carefully wiped off the mold after each dyeing, and everything was dyed by hand.

    • 2-way design that can be used as both a long umbrella and a folding umbrella

      The umbrella bag that comes with this folding umbrella can be opened and stored in the bag like a long umbrella by undoing the button on the back.
      After using it in the rain, you can tie up the umbrella with the name band attached to the outside and put it in an umbrella bag without folding it. It is the perfect size to fit in a suitcase, so it is also a great souvenir for people from overseas.
      Since the umbrella can be put away immediately in the bag even while still wet, it is environmentally friendly and there is no need to worry about your clothes getting wet.
      This is a functional folding umbrella that can be used as a long umbrella on rainy days and as a folding umbrella on days when it rains intermittently.

    • You can carry your umbrella without having to fold it.

      This folding umbrella is designed so that the tip of the umbrella fits into a groove in the handle, so you can carry it with the ribs extended.
      This eliminates the hassle of having to fold up a wet umbrella, and you can store it away after it dries when you get home.

    • Ribs and Shaft

      The ribs are made of lightweight and durable fiberglass material. It has a moderate thickness and flexibility, so it is lightweight but strong against wind. It is also a rust-free material, so it is easy to maintain on a daily basis.
      The center rod is made of aluminum.
      It is a very lightweight material that does not rust and is therefore easy to maintain.
