Amagatana

Amagatana is an umbrella for enjoying a blissful walk after a rain. After the sky clears up and the umbrella has served its purpose, we often swing around our umbrellas on a whim. By augmenting such motions with the sounds of clashing swords, Amagatana transforms scenes of everyday city life (i.e. The walk home from a train station) into subjective game-like arenas.
