This very special Pumpkin Parasol is the result of a collaboration with textile artist Yui Matsuda who creates unique fabric using hand-made techniques such as batik dyeing and silk screen printing. Each item is made of hand dyed Linen. Each one is an original and unique work of art. Made in a limited number of units!

Recently I had the chance to give a lecture at Otaru University of Commerce in Hokkaido – called “The Art and Engineering of Umbrellas” as part of the Otaru University of Commerce English Lecture Series. I discussed my early experiences as a sculptor and my current experiences as an umbrella and parasol designer. I went over the developing designs such as the Parashell, Pumpkin Umbrella, Sakura Parasol and also showed some new designs that will be debuting in 2013. I really enjoyed the experience. My thanks go to Shawn Clankie at Otaru University for the invitation.

私は以前、美術鋳造所でブロンズ技師をしていたので、古いスライドやネガをスキャンした。当時取り組んでいたいくつかのプロジェクトの画像だ。いい思い出がたくさん蘇ってきた。特に、ブロンズの匂いは今でも鮮明に覚えている。忘れられない。[:ja]
I scanned some old slides and negatives I had since I used to be a bronze technician at an art foundry. Images of a few projects I was working on at the time. They brought back a lot of good memories. In particular, I can still remember the smell of bronze.[:]
