Pearl River: coated paper umbrellas
A recommendation by sciencegeek
sciencegeek's recommendation
First to recommend
These are Japanese style paper umbrellas. The paper used for them has been oiled so it is rain resistant and you can use them as a regular umbrella. Despite their paper construction, they are sturdy objects that are less likely to be inverted in high winds than the umbrella that you bought from the guy on the street. They are also very beautiful in the way they combine form and function. At somewhat more than ten dollars, the price is definitely right.
I used a similar umbrella for years before someone stole it from me. Now I'd like to get another to enjoy spinning it again.
