魔法の傘
ジャミラ
Jamira, kaijū (monster) in the 2007-2008 Ultraman exhibition at Mori Arts Center Gallery, 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, Tokyo.
Or Jamila, as it is sometimes spelled in English transliteration. But that spelling gets confused with women's names, and certain brands of henna. Japanese has no L-sound, so foreign words with L are transliterated into Japanese using the syllables Ra-Ri-Ru-Re-Ro (ラリルレロ, where R is pronounced with a flick of the tongue, as in Spanish). As someone said in a Godzilla (ゴジラ) movie: "It's GOJIRA, you moron!"
Turns out to be a family favorite -- See monodistortion and onezilla (wanjira?):
