I purchased this as a prop for Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3 Festival) photography, but I'm selling it now as I have no further photography plans. I saw another photographer using it at a shrine and thought it was chic and lovely, so I bought it. It took me a while to find it. I think a black paper umbrella is rare. I think it's suitable for children aged 5 and up. The material is Japanese paper (washi). The umbrella handle is originally designed to be connected in the middle. (Presumably for ease of storage and shipping) It will be shipped in the form shown in the last photo. Of course, connecting it is not difficult at all, and after connecting it, the seam is hardly noticeable, to the point where you'll forget about it. Many children like to hold umbrellas, so it's recommended for professionals as well as for taking photos with family. Size: Diameter: 74cm Handle: 81cm Please forgive any slight errors as I am not a professional. #ShichiGoSan #PhotographyProps #JapaneseClothingAccessories #JapaneseUmbrella #Bangaasa (Large Umbrella)
