Drawings of Japanese-Style Umbrellas - Like Flowers in the Rain

With the rainy season gradually approaching, we may find ourselves leaving the house with umbrellas more often. That doesn’t mean we can’t look stylish while protecting ourselves from the rain, though! Traditional Japanese-style umbrellas are made from bamboo and paper and come in various colors and patterns, with oil coating the paper to make them waterproof. When seen from behind or above, they look like delicate flowers blooming in the rain. That thought can make going out on rainy days more exciting, don’t you think?
