This is a special umbrella that makes you happy to use, for a day filled with excitement. It's a high-quality, all-weather short umbrella with the refined elegance befitting a sophisticated woman. "It not only protects you from rain and sunshine, but also teaches you the joy of using something you love." This umbrella will surely become that special one for you. From "Maehara Kouei Shoten," a Japanese umbrella brand known as a purveyor to the Imperial Household. They inherit traditional manufacturing methods, and skilled craftsmen handcraft each umbrella one by one. Careful craftsmanship can be felt in every detail, from the handle and ribs to the ferrule and tips. It's a high-quality umbrella suitable for the discerning woman. The 10 ribs use steel, and the center shaft uses aluminum. To achieve lightness without compromising durability, the best materials are used in the right places. The handle, known as the "face of the umbrella," uses traditional "cold bamboo." Its unique, knotty appearance has a one-of-a-kind expression and is still a popular material today. You can enjoy the aging process, as it becomes more familiar to your hand and gains luster with use.
