It can be closed even when the ribs are extended, so there is no hassle when opening and closing folding umbrellas, and it can be used smoothly in any situation. In addition, all colors have a UV protection rate of 95% or more, so it is a highly functional umbrella made in Japan that can be used in both sunny and rainy weather.

Rain umbrella with a UV protection rate of 95%. A durable umbrella made in Japan

The Miratore 2WAY 2-stage folding umbrella has 8 ribs that are lightweight and compact in size. The ribs are made of flexible, durable, and rust-resistant glass fiber, and the middle ribs are made of lightweight aluminum material. Although it is a folding umbrella, one of its features is that it is a 2WAY specification that can be closed even when the ribs are extended. When you put it in your bag in case of rain, you can fold it compactly, and when you need to open and close the umbrella frequently while traveling, you can fold it like a long umbrella to open and close it smoothly, reducing stress on rainy days.

In addition, the water-repellent fabric used in this umbrella, Miratore, is a high-density fine denier fabric. It drains water well, so you don't have to worry about water droplets when you fold the umbrella. The surface of the Miratore fabric has invisible protrusions that contain air due to the fine weave, and these protrusions catch the water droplets that fall and turn them into small droplets without being crushed. Therefore, if you shake it quickly, the droplets will slide off and you can put it away smoothly in your bag. KOMIYA has applied water-repellent and water-resistant processing on top of this Miratore to further increase water pressure resistance. Furthermore, although it is not UV-cut, all colors have a UV cut rate of 95% or more, so it can be used as a parasol.

A folding umbrella made of elegant fabric that is easy to use for both genders and ages. The handle is made of natural maple wood, and a leather cord is attached to the top so that it can be easily hung or carried around. The included storage bag can be stored with the ribs extended by undoing the button on the back, making this an umbrella that shows the attention to detail that is characteristic of Japanese products. It is also recommended as a gift.

Western umbrellas, sincere manufacturing

KOMIYA is a brand developed by Komiya Shoten, which started in Tokyo in 1930 as a manufacturer of Western umbrellas and shawls. Since its founding, the company has continued to make Western umbrellas, which are now very rare in Japan. At the time, umbrellas used by ordinary Japanese people were generally "bangasa" umbrellas, which were made of bamboo frames with Japanese paper pasted on them and coated with oil, while "Western umbrellas" made of iron frames and covered with fabrics such as silk and cotton were luxury ornaments that only a limited number of people could afford. In the midst of all this, Komiya Shoten started making umbrellas using Koshu weaving from Yamanashi, where Komiya Shoten was born. Koshu weaving is a fabric produced in the "Koshu region," which specializes in fine thread counts, such as fabric for umbrellas and neckties. It is a fabric with a long history and tradition, and was also called "Kaiki" in the past.

Shortly after that, Japan entered the age of war. Komiya Shoten faced many difficulties, such as their store and home being burned down in an air raid, and material restrictions making it difficult to produce as they wanted, but after the war they rebuilt their store in Higashi-Nihonbashi amid the burnt ruins, and started from scratch to recover. In the 1950s and 60s, Japan boasted the world's largest umbrella production, consumption, and export volume. In the Higashi-Nihonbashi area where Komiya Shoten is located alone, there were more than 70 umbrella shops lined up, with many umbrella craftsmen, and the industry was full of vitality. After that, the oil crisis and the collapse of the bubble economy led many companies in the umbrella industry to move their main manufacturing base to Asian countries such as China, where labor costs are low. Many Japanese umbrella craftsmen who no longer have a place to work were forced to go out of business, and the many umbrella shops that existed went bankrupt one after another due to price destruction. Now, there are only a few umbrella shops in Tokyo that make umbrellas made in Japan. Komiya Shoten has been struggling in such rough seas of the world, but it is still able to continue its umbrella business.

No matter what the era, we have continued to maintain the tradition since our founding of "making high-quality products in-house (within our reach)" to maintain quality, and have earned the trust of our customers by responding sincerely and sincerely to their requests. Never satisfied with the status quo, we have incorporated new and innovative technologies, such as durability that can withstand heavy rain and measures against stronger ultraviolet rays. KOMIYA umbrellas have been protected against such a historical background. Umbrellas made in Japan are certainly expensive, but they are made with traditional fabrics and techniques, and you can feel the careful handiwork of skilled Japanese craftsmen. They are "lifetime" umbrellas that you will want to use for a long time. Why not take a walk through the rainy city with a KOMIYA umbrella?
