Tonbo Western Umbrella Maehara Koei Shoten Asakusa Misujimachi Store

Founded in 1948, Maehara Koei Shoten is a long-established Western-style umbrella shop with its workshop and store located in Asakusa, Misujimachi.
The craftsmanship, which has been offered to the Imperial Household, is passed down through generations. Each umbrella is carefully handmade with meticulous attention to detail. Inside the shop, a wide variety of umbrellas made from high-quality Japanese fabrics are displayed. Handles of umbrellas made from natural materials such as oak and cold bamboo add a quiet elegance and a warm presence.

When you visit, you can not only “buy an umbrella,” but also pick one up, open it, and feel its weight, balance, and the beauty of its tautness, experiencing the joy of selecting the one that truly suits you.
Our staff will carefully explain the characteristics of the materials and the intent behind the making, so even first-time visitors can take their time selecting items.

We also offer consultations for personalized engraving, such as adding initials. Whether as a memento of your travels or a gift for someone special, we can make a unique, one-of-a-kind umbrella.
While sightseeing in Asakusa, experience the deep world of Western-style umbrellas where Japanese craftsmanship lives on in every piece.
