Umbrellas! They are so hard to use! Well fear not cos Japanese Superstore Tokyu Hands can help, with this Shoulderbrella. Just unscrew the end bit of your umbrella and stick it into the Shoulderbrella and either wrap it around one or both of your shoulders. Don’t worry it was invented by a doctor but you might want to stash it if the wind picks up, you don’t want to do a Mary Poppins. ¥2,499 (about US$25). Now all we need is an asymmetric umbrella.

When both hands full of luggage, which can carry a small child. When out of the stroller, and active in various scenes will be able to use both hands when using a cane. Was invented by a doctor familiar with the structure of the shoulder.
