From Shizuoka artisans come handmade Japanese umbrellas that unite natural materials, lasting quality, and cultural heritage. today, Japanese sun umbrella making is now facing a crisis. Cheap products from overseas are flooding the market, the number of artisans is decreasing, and successors are disappearing. At this rate, the craft itself could be lost. This is a challenge shared by many traditional crafts, not just sun umbrellas. This project looks to nurture young artisans and once again bring the value of traditional handicraft to the world
