    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.

    Fabric woven on a rare narrow shuttle loom

    Fabric woven on a small-width loom, which has become extremely rare among looms, is made by looming the weft thread with a shuttle and folding it back at the edge as it is woven, which creates selvedge at the edge 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 you don't have to worry about fraying even if you use it for a long time.

    Also, because the shuttle loom moves slowly and carefully, making a clanging sound, it takes longer than usual to finally complete a piece of fabric.

    Limited quantity best price items

    As production of the fabric has ended, we have changed the price to more affordable and are selling this "best price item" in limited quantities. Sales will end when stocks run out, so please consider purchasing it as soon as possible.

    • Large when opened, compact when folded in two

      The umbrella is made of durable and lightweight fiberglass ribs, so it folds up compactly even though it is made of thick fabric. The beautiful silhouette of the umbrella when open is also an attractive feature.

    • 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 center pole

      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.
