In other countries, it is customary not to use umbrellas much, but in Japan, it is normal and common to use umbrellas on rainy days. As a result, umbrellas have now become a part of fashion.
Do you think that umbrellas are only used when it rains? Recently, new ways to use umbrellas have been gaining attention. In this article, we will introduce some new ways to use umbrellas .
Social distancing can be maintained naturally
A new way to use an umbrella is to use it to naturally maintain social distance. Social distancing means "appropriate distance," and it has recently become widely recognized as a guideline for maintaining a distance of about 2 meters between people to prevent coronavirus infection, so many people may be familiar with it. However, there are situations where maintaining social distance can be difficult, even if you are conscious of it. So by using an umbrella, you can naturally maintain social distance! The Hokusai graphic umbrellas are designed to resemble Japanese wagasa umbrellas, so both the tri-fold and long umbrellas are slightly larger. For example, a regular tri-fold umbrella has a diameter of 95cm! This has the advantage of keeping you dry even when carrying a lot of luggage, such as a backpack. By simply using an umbrella, you can naturally maintain social distance without worrying about those around you.

Parasols are effective in preventing heatstroke! A parasol is a must-have this summer!
Many people are forced to go outside in the summer heat. These days, people tend to wear masks when going out to prevent coronavirus infection, and as the summer heat gets even more intense, the risk of heatstroke increases. There are various measures to prevent heatstroke, such as frequent hydration and salt intake. Among these, avoiding direct sunlight is also an effective way to prevent heatstroke. Parasols not only protect you from direct sunlight, but also block ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can have a negative effect on your skin and cause blemishes and aging. Hokusai graphic parasols have a UV protection rate of over 90-95% and some can even be used on rainy days, so they're perfect for sudden downpours! The lifespan of an umbrella will vary depending on how it is handled and cared for, but the UV protection effect is said to last for an average of 2 to 3 years. A parasol is a must-have item this year to get through the hot summer! If you don't have one yet, or are thinking of buying a new one, be sure to check out Hokusai Graphics!

When you think of parasols, you tend to think of them as being for women, but that's not actually the case. Did you know that over the past few years, the number of men using parasols has been gradually increasing? I think there are many people who go out in the heat wearing suits for work, etc. For those people, I highly recommend a parasol.Using a parasol will protect you from direct sunlight and allow you to walk outside in comfort! There is also data that shows that simply protecting yourself from direct sunlight with a parasol can reduce the amount of sweat you produce by about 17%. http://www.env.go.jp/press/106813.html
