Perfect for the season when the number of umbrellas increases. I found a fashionable umbrella stand using "diatomaceous earth" that I often see recently, so I tried using it.
The "Diatomaceous Earth Umbrella Stand" sold by the miscellaneous goods brand "& NE" is a sheet-shaped umbrella stand with a thickness of about 1 cm. The surface is carved with a groove that matches the tip of the umbrella, and the point is the triangular shape that fits perfectly into the corner of the entrance.


Diatomaceous earth is fossilized and deposited shells of phytoplankton and algae. Due to the minute holes on the surface, it dries quickly even if it gets wet. I sprayed water on the stand and it dried in a blink of an eye.

The water droplets that fall from the wet umbrella are not as fast as the mist, but the color fades from the soba soaked. Of course, the floor under the stand does not get wet.

In addition, items that can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as placing them under a small potted plant or laying them under a cup or toothbrush stand in a washroom. It can be stored in a small space when not in use, so it is recommended for people who have a narrow entrance and cannot put an umbrella stand, or who want to use it only on rainy days!

There are three color variations: "clouds", "sky", and "cherry blossoms" (the image is "sky"). The price is 1,058 yen each (tax included). You can purchase it at "Ange web shop".
