U Vou tex

U Vou tex is the tag on my new umbrella.  This umbrella is made in China, and labeled only for sale in Japan. 

This one is for the sun -- which is terribly hot and oppressive.  Rather than use my basic rain umbrella for the sun, I now have a sun umbrella which is edged in a bit of lace like the ones carried by the  Japanese women.  For the grand sum of 525 yen, about $5.00, I have an umbrella complete with instructions:
