・Chinoiserie Modern has always expressed the brand's worldview with completely original designs and full-face embroidery. This parasol uses "cutwork embroidery," which can be said to be the pinnacle of embroidery. This "organdy cutwork embroidery" is not the traditional simple one-point or hem embroidery (= Scala embroidery), but a full-face cutwork embroidery that spreads over the entire umbrella fabric.
・A design created in collaboration with Kimura Hideki, a painter representing Kyoto. Keyan's paintings, which are painted in a unique and bold style in various places, including famous temples, have many fans. Keyan's signature work, "Lotus Flower," and the first combination of "Peony and Wisteria Flowers," are boldly expressed on the parasol with organza cutwork embroidery. This parasol has a strong presence.
・Despite the bold embroidery, the special double-layered "frog-like" construction provides complete light blocking, UV protection of 99.9%+, UPF50+, and a heat insulation index of 58, making it the ultimate in heat insulation.

A one-of-a-kind, beautifully embroidered organza parasol, created in collaboration with Kyoto rock muralist "Keyan."
A premium "actress parasol" that's like a work of art
Keyan's signature designs, the lotus flower and the peony and wisteria flower, are expressed through a combination of all-over embroidery (cutwork embroidery) and organza.
The outer fabric and organza are embroidered together, then the outer fabric is cut out and embroidered on the organza, making organza embroidery much more time-consuming than previous full-surface embroidery. Compared to embroidery alone, it has a sense of freedom and a nuanced beauty. Even with full-surface embroidery, the special double-layered manufacturing method, or "kawara-bari," has achieved complete light blocking and high heat insulation, which means heat dissipation.
◆It also protects against glare from sunlight coming from the ground, and is coated with black urethane to prevent it.
◆The organza used boasts grade 4 water-repellent properties and high water resistance that can withstand sudden rain.
