My Japanese Traditional Umbrella that was made in Kyoto, Japan

I have bought a Traditional Japanese Umbrella during my trip to Japan this year. Why did I bout a Traditional Japanese Umbrella? There tons and tons of reason behind it. Probably it's because of the fact that I was staying with in my grandmother's house when I was a child. There was this green colored Chinese Traditional Umbrella at her place and I was fascinated with it. Even up till today, I still can recall the look of the umbrella. It kinda brings back some good old memories of days back then. On top of that, I wanted to buy a Eco-friendly umbrella, hence I decided to buy a Traditional Japanese Umbrella.

This is a picture of my umbrella. Isn't it cool. XD
