- kasa is parasol in Japanese
- Camera: Canon EOS 350D Digital
Exposure: 0.02 sec (1/50)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 28 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: -1/3 EV

kasa
The parasols are really made of paper! They are quite small and dainty and are really just for the ladies. A kimono won't be complete without it I guess. I heard that you may apply oil over the surface to make it drizzle-proof. The ephemeral nature of beauty is elevated to an art in Japan.
