A total of three types will be released: one vinyl umbrella and two folding parasols, all featuring Jagao, the father, and Rikako, the mother, from the familiar Jagao Family characters of "Jagarico." The simple-looking vinyl umbrella, "Jagarico Wavy Umbrella," expresses "Jagarico" by incorporating color chips into the handle and ferrule. "Shading Jagarico Package Parasol Mini" features a design inspired by the "Jagarico" package. "Shading Jagao Family Embroidery Parasol Mini" uses a Jagarico-style charm as an accent.

Parasols] Wpc. parasols use fabric with 100% UV cut rate, 100% light blocking rate, and UPF50+* for all colors, effectively blocking strong summer sunlight. The black polyurethane coating on the underside of the umbrella suppresses light reflection and reduces glare. As they are designed for both sunny and rainy weather, they can be used even in sudden rain. * Fabric with a UV cut rate of 100% according to JIS L 1925 is considered 100% UV cut fabric. Fabric with a light blocking rate of 100% according to JIS L 1055 Method A is considered 100% light blocking fabric. UPF values are measured according to JIS L 1925. * The results described are measurements of the fabric state and do not represent the performance of the umbrella body. This also does not apply to parts other than the UV-processed fabric, such as embroidery and stitching on the fabric.
