Nagoya-based umbrella and accessories maker Santos Co., Ltd. has launched a new all-weather umbrella called "Hyakkaryoran (百花涼藍)," inspired by the deep, refreshing beauty of traditional Japanese indigo dyeing.
Pattern Lineup
The Hyakkaryoran collection expresses the depth and coolness of indigo — a color deeply rooted in Japanese tradition — through delicate botanical motifs. Three designs are available:
- Lily (百合): Elegant and dignified
- Nandina (南天): A plant considered a symbol of good fortune
- Clematis (鉄線花): Gracefully blooming
Each pattern combines feminine charm with a composed, settled aesthetic, making the umbrella suitable for a wide range of occasions whether paired with traditional Japanese clothing or modern attire.
Practical Performance
The umbrella works equally well on sunny and rainy days. The fabric features PU coating, which provides protection from rain as well as heat and UV rays.
Heat-shielding properties make it a practical choice on bright, sunny days as well. The UV cut rate is 99.9% or higher, and the light-blocking rate is 99.99% or higher.
Two Styles to Choose From
The collection comes in two formats to suit different needs:
- Long umbrella — for an elegant, refined look
- Compact folding umbrella — for convenient carrying
A Thoughtful Gift Option
The Hyakkaryoran umbrella also works well as a Mother's Day gift, offering a touch of cool, Japanese-inspired beauty to everyday outings.
