What’s in this article?
Sword umbrellas are a great alternative to full-on replica swords for anime, fantasy, sci-fi, and history fans because they bring together the decorative uses of a sword and the functionality of an umbrella. Sure, they tend to look a little out of place sometimes, but it’s hard to deny they’re rather cool items that can double as self defense.
Like sword canes in mystery novels, these folding umbrella swords remain inconspicuous all while giving you UV protection, even in the warmest summers.
Anime Sword Umbrellas
These anime sword umbrellas are based on Japanese samurai swords featured in the hit anime series, Kimetsu no Yaiba. Each umbrella is made of durable ABS plastic and stainless steel framing, giving you a high-quality umbrella that can stand up to tough winds and hot days alike.
1. Zenitsu’s Yellow Nichirin Sword Umbrella
The yellow nichirin blade is the sword of Zenitsu Agatsuma, the shy but courageous Hashira Corps member. His low self-esteem hides the fact that he’s actually a powerful swordsman capable of putting down an Upper Rank demon which he does in the manga using this blade.
This yellow nichirin blade sword umbrella won’t be able to summon lighting, but it can protect you from the elements. The underside of the umbrella is plain white but the outward facing side has a vibrant image of Zenitsu summoning lightning from his sword. There’s a samurai sword handle at the base of the umbrella for you to hold on to that looks exactly the same as standard nichirin sword replicas.

2. Tanjiro’s Black Nichirin Sword Umbrella
The black nichirin sword umbrella is a replica of Tanjiro Kamado’s black nichirin sword, a special blade symbolic of the power of the sun. Owners of black nichirin blades have a natural aptitude for the Sun Breathing style, the original breathing style used by the first demon slayer.
This ninja sword worthy umbrella features a red and black handle and a sun-motif tsuba. While it’s no full tang sword, you can count on adequate sun protection from its thick, waterproof nylon fabric that has a print of Tanjiro on the top, set against his outfit’s pattern.

3. Giyu’s Blue Nichirin Sword Umbrella
As you can likely guess from its color, the blue nichirin sword is symbolic of water and the cool, collected personality of its wielder, Giyu Tomioka. The water hashira used this blade to facilitate his water breathing style, a fast and adaptive fighting technique capable of overpowering stronger enemies.
This katana umbrella has an auto open feature that lets it unfold with a press of a button, kind of like how fast Giyu draws his blade in the anime. For fans of Japanese art, there’s a print of the Great Wave Off Kanagawa alongside Giyu on the top side of the fabric.
- Material: ABS Plastic, Stainless steel, and Nylon Fabric
- Length: 107 cm
4. Rengoku’s Red Nichirin Sword Umbrella
Flame Hashira Rengoku was famed for his bright personality and skill as a demon slayer, but neither would be complete without his red nichirin sword. The blade characterized the fighting spirit of the flame hashira and the energy of the Flame Breathing style.
While this umbrella won’t burst into flames anytime soon, it is a durable stainless steel umbrella with smoothly folding joints, making it easy to fold and unfold in a snap. Like the other umbrellas previously mentioned, it has a print of Rengoku on the external side, except it sets him against a backdrop of his own flames, resulting in a dramatically stylish effect.
- Material: ABS Plastic, Stainless steel, and Nylon Fabric
- Length: 107 cm
