History-Sode | The Umbrella

History-Sode | The Umbrella

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

Umbrellas! In this 10-minute history-sode, Auntie Jo Jo takes you on a whirlwind tour through 4,000 years of umbrella history—from royal shade in ancient Egypt to being mocked in 1700s London.

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!
