The condition is very good. It is hand-dyed, black on the outside and reddish-brown on the inside. Purchased for 23,100 yen. This is a wonderful parasol that is a fusion of a Japanese umbrella craftsman, the traditional Hamamatsu Chusen dyeing technique, and Tutaee. It is made small for women, is light and easy to carry, and is a convenient size to carry around during the parasol season. The patterns are all the work of Hamamatsu Chusen craftsmen. Chusen is a unique Japanese dyeing technique that is still only practiced in Japan, and it is an industry we want to cherish. It can dye the front and back in exactly the same color, and it features a rich and diverse dyeing with a deep taste, taking advantage of the bleeding, blurring, and blending of the dyes. It's because we live in modern times that we want to incorporate the goodness of Japanese handwork into our daily lives as a splash of color. The straight handle part is cool, and you can use the tassel string as a strap to carry it in your hand. (Folding umbrellas are slightly larger when opened than long umbrellas) Color: Black系 (Black-based) Pattern: Plain Stains, tears, odors, etc.: None
