Dedicated to 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 to this day, the company has been making only Western umbrellas, of which there are very few domestic umbrellas in Japan. At the time, umbrellas used by ordinary people in Japan were generally "bangasa" umbrellas, made of a bamboo frame with washi paper pasted on it and coated with oil, while "Western umbrellas" made of iron frames and covered with silk or cotton fabric were luxury ornaments that only a limited number of people could afford. In this environment, Komiya Shoten began 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 ties, and is a fabric with a long history and tradition that was also called "Kaiki" in the past.

Shortly after, 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 being unable to produce as they wanted due to material restrictions, but after the war they rebuilt their store in Higashi-Nihonbashi amidst the ruins, and started from scratch to rebuild. In the 1950s and 60s, Japan boasted the world's largest production, consumption, and export of umbrellas. In the Higashi-Nihonbashi area where Komiya Shoten is located, there were more than 70 umbrella shops lined up, with many umbrella craftsmen there, and the industry was full of vitality. After that, the oil shock and the collapse of the bubble economy occurred, and many companies in the umbrella industry moved their main focus of production to Asian countries such as China, where labor costs were low. With no place to work, many Japanese umbrella craftsmen were forced to go out of business, and the many umbrella shops that had existed went bankrupt one after another due to price destruction. Nowadays, there are only a few umbrella shops in Tokyo that make Japanese umbrellas. Komiya Shoten has been tossed about in the rough seas of the world, but it has been able to continue operating as an umbrella shop.

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