History-Sode | The Umbrella

What do ancient emperors, grumpy British men, and Japanese samurai have in common?

Learn how umbrellas became more than just tools for rainy days—and how they once symbolized power, scandal, and rebellion.

Perfect for curious kids and adults around the world—rain or shine!
