Parasol with a Charm-Like Design

A parasol is useful during seasons with strong sunlight! This parasol is inspired by “omamori” which is a traditional Japanese good luck charm. Even the storage bag is carefully designed, it has decorative knots and tassels to capture the warmth, so it’s protective feel of an omamori.

There are four designs, which blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with a touch of Scandinavian style: Fragrant Olive (Yellow), Sakura (Pink), Hemp Leaf Pattern (Saxe Blue), and Japanese Check Pattern (Gray).

The design truly embodies the essence of an omamori, making it feel both stylish and comforting. You will be relaxed and lift your mood up even on the sunniest days.

The parasol also comes with a small fortune slip attached, featuring one of four possible outcomes: Dai-Daikichi (Greatest Luck), Daikichi (Great Luck), Kichi (Good Luck), or Chūkichi (Moderate Luck). It’s a really fun way to test your fortune! You can even keep this fortune slip as a lucky charm for good luck.

Another excellent point is its compact size, you can easily carry it in your bag. The square-shaped design allows it to fit neatly without changing the bag’s shape. You will keep it in your bag anytime!

Interesting Umbrella with an Air-Ticket-Like Design

Finally, I’ll introduce a fashionable parasol with a “travel” theme. The logo design, resembling an airline ticket, it’s so cool!

You can be folded into a square shape for even more compact storage. Also, the tip of the umbrella is designed to be concealed, so you can use it comfortably in crowded places or tourist spots.

All colors provide 100% UV protection, 100% light blocking, and UPF 50+(*1), ensuring peace of mind even on intense sunny days. The polyurethane coating on the inside of the umbrella reduces light reflection to minimize glare. Moreover, the high heat-blocking properties help prevent heatstroke.

Although primarily designed as a sun umbrella, it also has a water-repellent coating, so you can use it on rainy days as well. It will be a savior for both sun and rain!

*1: UV protection, light blocking, and UPF values are measured according to JIS standards (JIS L 1925 and JIS L 1055 A method) based on the fabric’s properties. The stated values reflect fabric measurements and do not represent the overall performance of the umbrella.
