Shirabe : Series Concept

Linen woven in Yamanashi

The multi-colored yarn-dyed linen is woven on an umbrella loom in Yamanashi. Using the "hogushi-ori" technique, unique to Koshu-ori, the soft floral pattern is delicately expressed with a blurred look. Enjoy the unique texture that only linen can provide.

Parasol Enjoy the natural feel of a parasol

In order for you to enjoy the texture of the fabric, no processing has been done. Use it as a parasol to protect yourself from the sun, or as a fashion accessory.

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.

Elegant, cool, and airy linen woven on a narrow loom.

The natural texture and soft feel of linen make this fabric breathable and perfect for a parasol. The Yamanashi hogushi-ori design and the narrow loom's smart weaving process make this even more beautiful.

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.

  • A sturdy and beautiful 10-rib oak umbrella

    Domestic oak shaft and piano wire spring are used for the center rod, and glass fiber is used for the outer rib, making it soft to open and close, and when combined with the fabric, brings out the high quality feel. The 10 ribs are durable and have a beautiful silhouette.

  • 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 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 pole is made of domestic oak.
    Oak is characterized by its hardness and durability, and beautiful grain, which makes it suitable for use in building wooden ships.

    Piano wire is used for the trigger.
    It is a traditional material that is smooth to the touch and gentle on your fingers.

    The ferrule is made from buffalo horn.
    The unique texture and luster of natural materials create a luxurious feel.
