Isa mon-yo : Series Concept

A fresh and innovative Isa mon-yo that breathes life into the modern age

This series makes use of the traditional techniques of stencil dyeing and uses cotton furoshiki fabric that is the first of its kind in Japan to be dyed on both sides. The numerous patterns created by the Isa mon-yo Research Institute (founded by Isara Hisani) since the 1940s have been passed down through the ages. Enjoy the contrast between the front and back, dyed in different patterns and colors.

Sun and rain umbrella A waterproof parasol for both rain and shine

The fabric is treated to cut UV rays (protect against ultraviolet rays) as well as to be water-repellent and water-resistant. This is a rain and sun umbrella that can be used primarily as a parasol but can also be used as an umbrella in the rain. (If used for a long time in heavy rain, rainwater may seep through the umbrella fabric.)

About the fabric

Japanese traditional technique "katae-zome"

Stencil dyeing begins with pasting a sketch of the design to be dyed onto Japanese paper and then carving it into a stencil.
Place the stencil on top of the fabric and then apply glue on top.
The parts that have been coated with glue are protected from dye, so once the glue has dried the pattern parts are dyed and this process is repeated to complete the pattern.
This dyeing method is suitable for creating small and intricate patterns, and is one of the dyeing techniques called stencil dyeing that has been used in Japan since ancient times.

Traditional patterns revived through hand-dyed "double-sided dyeing"

The furoshiki fabric used is dyed with the Isara motif, a design born from the traditional "katae-zome" technique, using a "double-sided dyeing" method in which the front and back are dyed with different colors and patterns.
This material is then waterproofed and craftsmen make it into an umbrella, resulting in an umbrella with the "Isara pattern".

A stylish long umbrella with a cover made from the same fabric

This stylish and functional long umbrella comes with an original umbrella bag made from the same fabric. With its traditional Japanese design, it is also recommended as a gift.

About the handle

Lightweight, non-slip bamboo handle

This piece is made from bamboo, which is very familiar in Japan, and has a burnt finish.
It has many joints, which makes it less slippery when held, and it is hollow inside, which makes it very light.

名入れについて : No

  • The natural wooden shaft unique to long umbrellas

    The 50cm long umbrella has a natural wooden shaft, giving it a luxurious feel when you open it. It goes well with the umbrella fabric and handle, so you can enjoy coordinating it with your clothes.

  • Rokuro winding and dowel winding

    The part that moves up and down when opening and closing the umbrella is called the "rokuro" and the joint part of the bone is called the "dabo."
    The process of protecting each of these parts with the umbrella fabric is called "rokuromaki" and "dabomaki," and each part is carefully attached and covered to protect your hands when opening the umbrella and to prevent damage to the ribs, while also creating a traditional beauty and sense of luxury.
    This is an old-fashioned technique that is time-consuming and therefore not seen much these days, but all of Komiya Shoten's long umbrellas are equipped with it.

  • Ribs and center pole

    The ribs are made of steel (iron that has been heat-treated). Steel is heavy compared to other materials, but it is a very strong material. Therefore, it is resistant to wind and has the strength to support the umbrella, so it goes well with fabric and can fully express the beauty of the umbrella's tension.
    It uses a natural center pole made of maple wood, which is highly durable.
