This item is approximately 7-8 years old. I received it from a relative, but I'm selling it because I don't use it. It appears unused. The umbrella is in beautiful condition, with a taut and slightly glossy fabric. It has a lovely Kitamura-esque pattern. One button is missing from the storage bag, but it doesn't seem to affect storage. It also folds into a small bag (see photo 9). I hope to pass it on to someone who appreciates it.
