Japanese Paper Umbrellas!!

Japanese umbrellas match so well with kimono! They're a bit different from normal umbrellas and are often hand-made. From thin washi, Japanese paper, they can have soft reflection of light... and when the rain hits the paper, it sounds like such a wonderful thing. Traditional ones often have bamboo or bone as a part of the construction. Check out these awesome illustrations and enjoy the four seasons with these Japanese umbrellas!
