Umbrella （All-Weather Use） Made in Japan | Stig Lindberg - Makita Shoten -

The Umbrella That Starts Conversations

"Since I started using it, people have been coming up to me to ask about it." This is the genuine voice of our users.

What sets this umbrella apart is the unique texture and depth that can never be achieved with simple printing. As a specialist textile manufacturer, Makita Shoten uses traditional looms to weave intricate, beautiful patterns directly into the fabric.

The designs are by Stig Lindberg, the most celebrated designer in Scandinavia. His work is so iconic that it defines Nordic design; you have likely encountered his artistry before. When his timeless aesthetic meets Japanese craftsmanship, the result is an umbrella of unparalleled beauty.

Joy in Every Drop—Rain or Shine

Crafted from Jacquard fabric, meticulously woven thread by thread, this umbrella offers a premium tactile quality and luster that printed alternatives simply cannot match. The fabric reveals a different character on the front and back, allowing you to enjoy the exquisite pattern even from the inside.

Beyond its beauty, it is a masterpiece of utility:

UV Protection: Blocks over 90% of harmful rays.

Performance: Advanced waterproof and water-repellent finish.

Uniqueness: Because each umbrella is cut from different parts of the woven fabric, no two pieces are exactly alike.

The moment you open it, the sheer elegance of the weave often draws an involuntary "How beautiful" from those around you. It is more than an accessory—it is a sophisticated, eye-catching statement.

The Only Umbrella of Its Kind in Japan

Makita Shoten is located in eastern Yamanashi Prefecture, a region that has been a heartland of Japanese textiles for over 1,000 years. Founded in 1866, Makita Shoten is a venerable textile manufacturer that took a rare and innovative path: applying its centuries-old weaving expertise to the art of umbrella making.

They are the only maker in Japan—and a rarity in the world—to handle the entire creation process in-house, from weaving the original fabric to the final assembly by master artisans. This seamless integration of heritage and craft makes every umbrella a true work of art.
