    Plaid : Series Concept

    The fabric for this series is double woven so that the front is plain and the back is checkered. The checkered pattern on the lining creates a fashionable atmosphere. The result is a sophisticated and heavy-duty finish. Enjoy this sophisticated adult look that will brighten up even rainy days.

    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.

    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.

    About the handle

    Easy to hold and lightweight maple handle

    The handle is made of durable maple wood and painted brown.
    We made the umbrella easier to hold by adding a recess in the part that comes into contact with your hand to make it more stable when you hold it.
    Grooves have also been carved into the product to prevent the attached tassel from coming off.

    名入れについて : Both direct engraving and plate engraving are possible

    • Lightweight and durable, with large carbon bones when opened

      The umbrella is slim and lightweight thanks to the use of carbon ribs, and is large when opened. The beautiful tension of the umbrella by the craftsmen is also an attractive feature, making it a perfect fashion item.

    • 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 the lightest and hardest carbon fiber material. It is a very light material, yet extremely strong and wind resistant. It is also a rust-free material, making it 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.
