Washino print factory is the only manufacturer in Kyoto that makes hand-printed umbrellas.
Founded in 1930, the company has been nurtured by the rich nature and culture of Kyoto, where the dyeing and weaving industry is flourishing, and has overcome many hardships to carry on the tradition.
Hand-printing is a technique in which a pattern is placed on the cloth and dyed by hand, one color at a time, carefully. Since the condition of the dye changes depending on the weather and environment, it requires a high level of skill.
It is a luxurious and time-consuming process characterized by vivid colors and delicate, intricate patterns.
We have added a parasol that lightly blocks the harsh summer sun. We hope you will add it to your outing.
