With the weather warming up in Tokyo and Hanami season just around the corner, it is time to prepare for the rainy season coming up in June…

In Japan, umbrellas are a must. But when you share a regular umbrella with somebody else, one of you, your bags or legs definitely get wet.  However, Thanko’s new umbrella – “Odemukae” – will not allow you to get wet because it’s a 1,204mm wide umbrella for 2 people. One of the great things about it is that when you close the umbrella, the size is the same as a regular umbrella and you don’t look like you are carrying a big beach umbrella with you.

3 colors (wine red, blue, and light brown) are available.

Retail price: 1,980 yen
Size: length 750 mm  x Width 1,204 mm (when it’s open), 440g
