Umbrella give us protection from the rain and as a shade to prevent the sun harsh light . They make creative decoration and paint it with beautiful painting to the umbrella to attract people to buy the umbrella . Sometimes the people buy the umbrella to show people that they are rich without telling the people in their conversation. The golden decoration and paint is the symbol for the royalty , and there is a lot of concept of the painting of each umbrella . The umbrella is consider an expensive item because not everyone willing to buy it and used it daily because most common people is prefer to walk under the sun and rain. It consider a precious item for the family if they have any of the umbrella.
As time go on , this art of painting umbrella is getting lost . It was because people is prefer buying the cheaper and modern umbrella for their daily use. During my travel in Jogjakarta , im feel so lucky to visit one of popular painting umbrella workshop.
