This is a Japanese umbrella for outdoor use, in a subdued red color. The colors in all the photos are not far off, but the first three photos are particularly accurate. I have opened and closed it a few times indoors, but it has never been used outdoors. There are no holes or tears, and the black lacquer on the ribs is not chipped, so it is a very beautiful item. Imagine wearing a kimono, clogs, and holding this umbrella... it makes you look forward to rainy days (^_-) The umbrella surface is oiled and can be used on rainy days. Stage 1: Approximately 93 cm (half-open) Stage 2: Approximately 103 cm (fully open) Length: 75 cm
