May 25, 2021
Recently, due to the impact of the coronavirus, imports of plastic umbrellas and other items from China have temporarily plummeted (down 59% from February 2020, according to Ministry of Finance trade statistics). In addition, the growing trend toward eco-consciousness in recent years has led to a growing demand for non-disposable umbrellas. Yokohama Takashimaya will be selling HANWAY umbrellas for a limited time. HANWAY, a brand named after Jonas Hanway, known as the founder of modern Western umbrellas, is popular for its stylish, artistic designs that set it apart from mass-produced umbrellas, as well as its wide range of colors.

This product is environmentally friendly because it eliminates the need for disposable umbrella bags.
