A "cap" is a tool that you wear on your head to prevent rain, snow, and direct sunlight. The disadvantage is that the range that can be prevented is narrow, but on the other hand, there is a big advantage that you can use both hands.
"Hatto! Umbrella" is a product that brings back that "cap" to the present day. Since both hands are free, it is a parasol that can be used in a wide range of scenes such as gardening, fishing, watching sports, and watching concerts at summer festivals.
"Hatto! Umbrella", a parasol perfect for gardening
To explain "Hat! Umbrella" in one word, "Parasol with your head". Wear it on your head with a rubber band with velcro. You may be wondering, "What's the difference with a hat?", But because there is a gap between the top of the head and the umbrella, your head won't get stuffy like when you wear a straw hat. Since the shading range is fairly wide, it is also a point that the neck does not get sunburned like a sun visor. In addition, since it can be folded normally, it has the advantage of being easier to carry than the "Kasa".

Can be folded and carried
The downside is that it looks a little strange. but it's okay. If seven people wear this and walk around the city, they will feel like Kasa Jizo. If only one person wears a towel, people who go to the town for the first time will watch over with a warm look.
