Umbrella Sommelier, Hiroyuki TsuchiyaHe was in charge of rain gear at a major home improvement center and became fascinated by the craftsmanship, functionality, and beautiful forms of various umbrella makers' products.

Blocks Rain and UV RaysThe umbrella fabric is made of water-repellent polyester. By applying polyurethane coating to the back of the umbrella fabric, it achieves a UV cut rate of over 99.9% and UPF50+. It can be used year-round to block the UV rays that pour down and for both sunny and rainy weather.
Peace of Mind Even on Dark RoadsThe name band and logo layout on the umbrella fabric feature a reflector function for peace of mind on dark roads. Also, the name band can be fixed when expanded, making it easy to fold neatly.
Special Structure to Deflect Impact and WindTo pursue the durability of the umbrella, a spinner structure is adopted. By rotating the umbrella body, it deflects the impact when wind or umbrellas collide. Additionally, the rotation is adjusted to minimize the risk of splashing water.
*It doesn't mean it rotates strongly when the wind blows.
Lightweight and DurableIt features eight ribs suitable for a beautiful umbrella silhouette. The main material is fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), which is lighter and more flexible than metal ribs, ensuring durability while keeping the number of ribs to eight for weight reduction.
Wide Size for Peace of MindThe subdued coloring can adapt to any scene. When expanded, it has a wide size with a diameter of about 110cm, providing solid protection even during sudden heavy rain.
Durable and Long-lasting for the EarthCurrently, umbrella malfunctions or damage caused by strong winds or heavy rain lead to disposal. The brand's development of this product aims to reduce environmental impact by eliminating disposable umbrellas and encouraging people to cherish their favorite umbrellas for a long time.
