Answer:

It's the same reason why Dell or Apple computers are made in China.

The "robe" is Japanese in style even though it was made in China. Many consumer products are being made in China for Japanese and other national companies to bring down cost because manual labor in China is much cheaper. Japan has mostly gone to high tech and automation except for the extremely expensive handmade products. You can still get kimonos made in Japan, but they are going to cost much more than those made in China.

As for the "umbrellas", they are more parasols than umbrellas and both the Japanese and Chinese were using them for so long no one really knows who actually invented it.
