The nationality of the troubled island country is doomed to the good habit of the Japanese to plan ahead. Japanese foreigners taught in college, decades of smoking addiction. His key chain has a miniature ashtray and a small broom similar to a girl's eyebrow pencil.
A miniature shovel. If he accidentally drops the ash on the ground while smoking, he will clean it up with a broom and shovel and put it in the ashtray.
This is because on public transport such as trams, the rainwater on the long umbrella can flow directly to the ground along the tip of the umbrella, and it is more difficult to get the rainwater on the people next to it than the folding umbrella.
Or the umbrella codes placed in front of supermarkets and convenience stores in Japan, and the places used for locking and storing umbrellas in schools and public libraries are all designed for long-handled non-folding umbrellas, so it is inconvenient to use folding umbrellas.
It's just that everyone uses transparent long umbrellas, so once they are put in front of the store, they may not be found when they are taken again, so some people just take one away. No wonder it was denounced as an exclusive umbrella for Japan.
The above reasons can also be counted, but the real reason is that Japan is an island country surrounded by typhoons and rainstorms. The ribs of folding umbrellas are too soft to withstand typhoons and rainstorms for a long time, while long-pole umbrellas are inconvenient to carry, but they are large and durable.
Strong weather resistance, it can also be used as a crutch when put away. So many Japanese people like long-handled umbrellas. So to sum up, the personal habit of islanders is that if it rains outside in the morning, they will not hesitate to choose a long-handled umbrella to go out, and the folding umbrella is completely for emergency use.
