umbrellas
It’s hard to tell whether making people look like mercenary swordsmen of feudal Japan was intentional or not.
Stay dry if not necessarily stylish, even as rainy season does its worst with a giant umbrella hat.
Sometimes, a not-so-gentle reminder is all it takes to make sure your belongings continue to be yours.
Rainy days in Japan are fraught with danger, and it’s not just because of the inclement weather.
Creepy cool accessory’s clever construction makes the eye go into alert mode when you snap it on.
Unique design should be a hit with fashionistas and history buffs, and also hides a subtle anime cosplay secret.
Loan services could be set to disappear with organisations now running dangerously low on stock.
Made in Gifu Prefecture, these elegant designs reflect not only modern pop culture, but an umbrella-making tradition that stretches all the way back to the Edo Period.
