Western umbrellas, sincere craftsmanship

KOMIYA is a brand developed by Komiya Shoten, which started as a manufacturer of western umbrellas and shawls in Tokyo in 1930. Since our founding, we have been focusing on western umbrellas, and we continue to make domestically produced umbrellas, which are now very few in Japan. Umbrellas used by commoners in Japan at that time were generally bangasa, which were made by applying oil to a bamboo frame covered with washi paper, while yogasa, which was made by stretching fabrics such as silk or cotton over an iron frame, were used by some people. It was a luxury adornment that could only have a limited number of layers. Under such circumstances, Komiya Shoten started making Western umbrellas using Koshu weave from Yamanashi, where he was born. Koshu-ori is a textile with a history and tradition that is produced in the Koshu production area, which specializes in fine count fabrics for umbrellas and ties.

After a while, Japan entered the era of war. Komiya Shoten also faced many difficulties, such as its store-cum-home burned down in an air raid, and because of material controls, it was not possible to make things as expected. Departure for reconstruction. In the 1950s and 1960s, Japan boasted the world's largest production, consumption, and export volume of umbrellas. In the Higashi Nihonbashi neighborhood where Komiya Shoten is located, there are more than 70 umbrella shops, and there are many umbrella craftsmen there, and the industry is full of energy. After that, with the oil shock and the bursting of the economic bubble, many companies in the umbrella industry decided to shift their manufacturing operations to China and other Asian countries, where labor costs are cheaper. Many Japanese umbrella craftsmen who had no place to work were forced to go out of business, and many umbrella shops went bankrupt one after another due to price collapse. Today, there are only a few umbrella shops in Tokyo that make Japanese umbrellas. Komiya Shoten is still able to continue its umbrella business despite the rough seas of the world.

No matter what the era, we will continue to maintain the tradition since our founding of "manufacturing high-quality products in-house (within our own eyes)", protect quality, and respond sincerely to customer requests. and have earned their trust. Never satisfied with the status quo, we have incorporated new and revolutionary technologies such as toughness that can withstand heavy rain and measures against stronger UV rays. Against this historical background, KOMIYA umbrellas have been preserved. Umbrellas made in Japan are certainly expensive, but you can feel the careful handiwork of skilled Japanese craftsmen using traditional fabrics and techniques. Why don't you walk around the rainy town with such a KOMIYA umbrella?
