DIA990xH650mm, China
Typhoon Usagi just departed and its raining cats and dogs but this umbrella is probably too delicate to embrace the serve weather – a paper umbrella!
The paper is made from mulberry tissue paper coated with tung oil (oil extracted from the fruit of tung tree, Aluerites fordii Hemsi). The structure is made delicately with bamboo. These umbrellas are very durable, I had a plain dark blue one which lasted through my teen years.
