Some collectors collect the topic parasols or umbrellas. Japanese collectors perhaps. The parasols are works of art themselves at times. Like the fans too I think.
Is that Mr Gibbons himself? Wow. I suppose if one wants the best deals on stamps one should seem part of the culture and not apart from it? |

That is a Japanese fan.
He is probably in Japan, or supposed to be, in this photo. Or he keeps his stamps in his robes. |

Bingo! David  Mr. Stanley Gibbons himself. He always reminds me of Ringo Starr, but it was John and Paul that collected stamps.  |

Sorry David, you won our collective applause  (much better than a boring old cruise without stamps) Stamp cruises no longer occur AFAIK  |
