Some things are synonomous with Japan, such as fans, sushi, cherry blossom, samurai, kimono, animation, and so on.
I'd like to add the cheap, transparent umbrella to that list.
These are cheap throw-aways.
As soon as it gets a bit cloudy, shops will put their umbrellas outside tempting consumers who get frightened by a spot of rain.
At a mere 100Yen a pop, there's no damage done to the wallet should you need one on the walk home from the station.
After the shower, occasionally people will dump them, not wanting the extra baggage to carry around.
You often find them scattered around hanging from branches and railings or propping up a building.
I spotted this umbrella keeping three canisters company in an industrial site.
