Placing paper on a Yodoe umbreaal, Wagasa Kōbō Hatsune

Japanese umbrellas are manufactured using mostly natural materials that have a long life after continual use if they are well-maintained and repaired. The more one uses one of these umbrellas, the more enjoyment one gets out of it. In addition to the creation of conventional umbrellas, new innovative uses have been developed here that include umbrella lanterns, mini umbrellas, and origami umbrellas.
