He aha ka moʻolelo o ka ua?

ʻAʻole hoʻomaka ka moʻolelo o ka ua umbrella me kahi moʻolelo o nā malu ua.Akā, ʻaʻole i hoʻohana mua ʻia ka pale ua i kēia lā no ka pale ʻana i ka wā pulu, akā i ka lā.Ma waho aʻe o kekahi mau moʻolelo ma Kina kahiko, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka ua ma ke ʻano he parasol (ka huaʻōlelo maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia no ka pale lā) a ua kākau ʻia i hoʻohana ʻia ma nā wahi e like me Roma kahiko, Helene kahiko, ʻAigupita kahiko, Middle East a me India i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka 4th century BC.

I ka hapanui o nā hihia, ua hoʻohana mua ʻia ka pale lā a i ʻole ka parasol e nā wahine i ka wā kahiko, akā hōʻike pinepine ʻia nā lālā o ka mōʻī, nā kahuna pule a me nā mea hanohano ʻē aʻe i nā kiʻi kahiko me kēia mau mea mua i nā umbrellas ua o kēia mau lā.Ma kekahi mau hihia, e haʻi aku nā mōʻī inā ʻae ʻia ko lākou mau makaʻāinana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka parasol, e hāʻawi ana i kēia hanohano i kāna mau kōkua punahele loa.

Mai ka hapanui o ka poʻe kākau moʻolelo, ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole i hiki mai ka hoʻohana maʻamau o ka umbrella ua (ʻo ia hoʻi no ka pale ʻana i ka ua) a hiki i ke kenekulia 17 (me kekahi mau moʻolelo mai ka hopena o ke kenekulia 16) ma nā ʻāina ʻEulopa i koho ʻia, me ka poʻe Italia, Palani a me Pelekania ke alakaʻi i ke ala.Ua ulana ʻia nā uhi uhi o nā makahiki 1600 mai loko mai o ke kilika, kahi i hāʻawi ʻia ai ke kūpaʻa wai liʻiliʻi ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā umbrellas ua o kēia mau lā, akā ʻaʻole i hoʻololi ʻia ke ʻano o ka canopy mai nā hoʻolālā palapala mua loa.ʻOiai i ka hopena o ka makahiki 1600 akā naʻe, ua manaʻo ʻia nā umbrellas ua he huahana wale nō no nā wahine hanohano, me nā kāne e kū nei i ka ʻakaʻaka inā ʻike ʻia lākou me kekahi.
Ma ka waena o ke kenekulia 18, ua neʻe ka ua umbrella i mea o kēlā me kēia lā ma waena o nā wahine, akā ʻaʻole a hiki i ka wā i hana ai ke kanaka Pelekane ʻo Jonas Hanway i kahi pale ua ma nā alanui o Lākana i ka makahiki 1750 i hoʻomaka ai nā kāne e ʻike.ʻOiai ua hoʻomāʻewaʻewa ʻia i ka wā mua, ua lawe ʻo Hanway i kahi malu ua ma nā wahi āpau āna i hele ai, a ma ka hopena o ka makahiki 1700, ua lilo ka pale ua i mea kōkua maʻamau i waena o nā kāne a me nā wahine.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ma ka hopena o ka makahiki 1700 a me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 1800, ua hoʻololi ʻia kahi "Hanway" a lilo i inoa ʻē aʻe no ka malu ua.

Mai ka makahiki 1800 a hiki i kēia manawa, ua ulu nā mea hana i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā umbrellas ua, akā ua mau ke ʻano o ka canopy kumu.Ua pani ʻia nā iwi koholā me ka lāʻau, a laila ke kila, ka alumini a me ka fiberglass i kēia manawa no ka hana ʻana i ke kumu a me nā iwi ʻaoʻao, a ua hoʻololi nā lole nylon i kēia wā i nā kilika, nā lau a me nā hulu ma ke ʻano he ʻoi aku ka pale ʻana i ka wā.
Ma Ovida Umbrella, lawe kā mākou mau umbrellas i ka hoʻolālā canopy kuʻuna mai ka makahiki 1998 a hoʻohui ʻia me ka mea maikaʻi loa i ka ʻenehana kiʻi hou, ka lole ponoʻī a me ka hoʻolālā kiʻi a me ka waihoʻoluʻu e hana ai i ka umbrella ua kiʻekiʻe no nā kāne a me nā wahine o kēia lā.Manaʻo mākou e mahalo nui ʻoe i kā mākou ʻano o ka umbrella ua e like me kā mākou hauʻoli i ka hana ʻana!
