DiCesare at National Art Center, Tokyo
If you’re looking for culture in the Tokyo area, you must see the new National Art Center in Tokyo. It’s also a great place if you’re looking for the ultimate gift to bring home after visiting Japan. “Souvenir from Tokyo” in the basement of the the National Art Center in Tokyo is a souvenir shop with a difference. Wonderful selection of items from top designers and craftsmen from Japan and around the world. This couple of culture aficionados dropped by and checked out the collection! DiCesare Designs umbrellas and parasols are available at SFT all year round.
Matsuya Ginza 100 Umbrella Show
Every year, Matsuya Ginza Department Store has Japan’s biggest umbrella show. It’s called the The “100 Umbrella Show” 松屋銀座百傘会. There’s nothing like it outside of Japan. The department store even hands hundreds of umbrellas in the air over the exhibition space in a special installation. A must see umbrella event.
DiCesare x Cocca Collaboration
Cocca is a really charming shop in Daikanyama that makes their own fabric for use in clothing, accessories, interior good and numerous other items. The uniqueness of the designs and the quality of the fabric makes for really great items. That’s what excited me about working with the poeple at Cocca on a series of Rhythm Pumpkin umbrellas. Here’s a shot of the items in the Cocca showroom.
DiCesare Designs Men’s Pumpkin Umbrella in TEMPS Magazine
When I first started DiCesare, we only had one parasol design (the Parashell). Then I made another (the Kabocha) Pumpkin Parasol and from that a Women’s umbrella was made (the Rhythm) Pumpkin Umbrella. Recently, we have come out with a Men’s umbrella called the GRANDE Pumpkin Umbrella. It is similar to the Rhythm in style but larger and stronger with a more robust handle. Recently TEMPS magazine did a story on it and interviewed me about the design.

J-wave Interview with Designer DiCesare
I went down to J-Wave for an interview with Andy Pompilio this week. It was the first time that I’ve been interviewed so I have to admit, I was a little nervous. Andy did his best to make me feel relaxed enough to get through the interview smoothly. He is so laid back and that rubbed off on me.
彫刻への情熱
彫刻は私の情熱だ。子供の頃からそうでした。私にとって傘やパラソルのデザインは、彫刻と建築の中間に位置する。試作品のために木彫りをすることもある。還元的な彫刻は私の得意分野ではないかもしれませんが、多くの喜びをもたらしてくれます。
Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella
The Parashell parasol was the item that led me into this area of design. That being umbrella & parasol design. From the Parashell, a lot of my other items were conceived. This new umbrella series featuring an undulating canopy is called the “Rhythm” Pumpkin Umbrella. The design is unique and stylish but takes nothing away from the functionality of keeping one dry on the rainiest of days.
