This western-style umbrella is imbued with Japanese elegance, as befits its elegant name in Japanese: “a graceful cherry blossom, hand-open, long umbrella with a braided cord handle.” The canopy is made from Koshu Ori, a fabric created exclusively for umbrellas, which is woven after the thread is dyed, making for an elegant and rich texture as well as a distinctive sheen. The handle is created from rare and valuable Japanese wild cherry, and skillfully wrapped with a braided cord inspired by kimono belts. Through meticulous craftsmanship involving more than 100 steps such as wooden pattern making, cutting, and sewing, this masterpiece umbrella exemplifies the beauty of Japan.
