Description
This is a folding umbrella, a typical Japanese umbrella shape.
These folding umbrellas are made using the traditional method of pasting washi paper onto a bamboo frame and then finishing with a coat of oil and paint. Each folding umbrella featuring Hokusai graphics is handcrafted by artisans who have continued the tradition to this day. As this work requires not only high skill but also concentration, only a limited number can be made each day. The sound of rain hitting the folding umbrellas, created by this artisanal skill, conveys to the present day the sense of the seasons and natural scenery that Japan once had.

*The method for opening and closing a Japanese umbrella is different from that of a Western umbrella. Turn the umbrella until it opens naturally, then gently open it downwards.
*Please refrain from using the umbrella in strong winds as it may cause the umbrella to break.
We want to create umbrellas that are "stylish, elegant, and stylish on rainy days and sunny days." This is the origin of Hokusai Graphic. Hokusai's ukiyo-e prints remain fresh in every era and continue to fascinate the world today. Just like this great predecessor, Hokusai, we at Hokusai Graphic create and sell umbrellas with original graphic designs that remain fresh in every era and fascinate the world.
