Visit Miyajima
In Miyajima, they enjoyed visiting Itsukushima Shrine and having a lunch party at Miyajima Brewery.
Here, we will introduce the “Japanese umbrella” used in the commemorative photo in Miyajima and the “denim” worn by Prime Minister Yuko Kishida's wife.
Japanese umbrella “Sankaku (Sankaku)”
The “Japanese umbrella” used in the group photo in front of the large torii gate is called “Sankaku (Sankaku),” an umbrella born from paper cranes that connect wishes for peace.
Umbrella cranes are made using recycled paper from origami cranes delivered to Hiroshima from all over the world, and it contains not only a wish for peace, but also a desire to pass on traditional Japanese techniques that have declined with the times.

“Denim” from Fukuyama
The suit that Mrs. Yuko wore when she visited Miyajima was “Bingo Denim” from Fukuyama City.
Fukuyama has an area that is extremely rare in the world, where companies in the denim manufacturing process gather within a radius of 10 km.
In Fukuyama City, which has received high support from domestic and overseas apparel companies and is attracting attention, there is not only a tour of denim manufacturing, but also a project to create full-order denim.
Be sure to pay attention to denim items when you visit Hiroshima!
