Japanese Anti-UV umbrella 'Komori'

The folding umbrella that shrugs off sun and rain

This is the one umbrella in the collection built for the modern commute rather than the photo shoot. A compact folding umbrella with a navy canopy beneath and a black anti-UV coating on top, it pairs everyday rain protection with real sun defense — the dark outer layer blocking the glare that a pale parasol simply lets through.

The construction is practical throughout. A sprung automatic mechanism pops the canopy open at the push of a button, the metal ribs hold firm against wind, and a short oak wood handle gives a warm, solid grip. Folded down, it tucks easily into a bag, ready for whatever the sky does next.

The two-tone canopy is the clever part: navy on the underside for a clean look overhead, black anti-UV coating on the outside to cut harmful rays on bright days. It means one umbrella covers both a sudden downpour and a fierce afternoon sun, which most parasols and most rain umbrellas can't claim.

It comes in two colorways, Blue and Black, both keeping that dark, understated, city-ready look. This isn't a decorative paper parasol but a tool — the piece you actually carry day to day, with a nod to Japanese craft in its oak handle and considered build.

Built with an oak wood handle, a 62 cm canopy and a lightweight 250 g body, it opens automatically and folds compact for easy carrying. An eco-minded, everyday umbrella for anyone who wants sun and rain handled by a single piece.

It earns its place as the practical workhorse of the range, the one you reach for on a gray morning or a glaring afternoon without a second thought. Where the paper parasols are made to be admired, this one is made to be used, day in and day out, and to fold away unobtrusively the moment the weather turns kind again.
