Working from 10 in the morning sometimes until midnight (with a little afternoon nap after lunch and a break at dinner time for good measure), Mr. Kitazawa is portrayed as The Man who Makes Umbrellas of Happiness in PingMag Make.
 
These days we often buy cheap umbrellas that get left behind or wrecked when strong winds come our way.
 
Mr. Kitazawa's umbrellas can last up to 30 years.
