| First, the wooden head / handle of the umbrella is made. |

| Then the bark of the sa (mulberry) tree is pounded into pulp. |
 |
| The pulp is then soaked with chemical and then dried to make paper |
 |
| Feeling the texture of the paper |
 |
| The spokes are made from bamboo. There was a nice bamboo fragrance there. |

| When opened, it looks like this |
 |
| The paper is pasted onto the bamboo spokes. |
 |
| The umbrellas are then left to dry |
