I’ve been in Osaka selling this season’s collection at Hankyuu’s umbrella and parasol department. It’s been a great experience. Osaka customers are quite boisterous and friendly so I’m really enjoying the experience. Last but not least, the amazing food.



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.
Isetan Shinjuku just opened a new select shop on the 2nd floor called “Elegant Trad & Modern Feminine” We worked with Isetan and VERY to make the Black & White Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella. UV coated and waterproofed for use in any season as an umbrella or parasol. Simple and bold in black & white.
The Matsuya Ginza 100 Umbrella Show is basically the biggest umbrella show in Japan. An annual event at Matsuya Department Store in Ginza. This year’s event has been a great experience. I met a lot of interesting people. It was a lot of fun to see them holding the Sakura parasol for the first time. Some unforgettable reactions, that’s for sure. If you dropped by, thanks for coming out!
For this collaboration we worked with Est Nation and Rita Takahashi. I just love these Pumpkin Parasols. The pattern of the fabric and the little frill around the edge are perfect for this form. They are only available at Est Nation and they won’t last long. Look for them in the June issues of In Red and Oggi.
I’m happy to announce that for the second time we’ve teamed up with Cocca to make collaboration items. This season we’ve made a limited edition series of Rhythm Umbrellas and Kabocha Parasols. This series of Pumpkin umbrellas comes with UV coating and waterproofing. With dual coating these models are great for any season.
This is my first time to have a show at Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi. It’s a beautiful store in terms of architectural ornamentation. There is also a beautiful giant sculpture “Statue of a Celestial Nymph” in the Central Hall. That alone is a good enough reason to come to this location in the heart of Tokyo.
I just got back from Hakata this weekend. I was there for a show at Daimaru Department Store. It’s much more common to see a woman using a parasol here than in Kanto.
At Shinjuku Station in Lumine Est on the B2 floor is Destination Tokyo. A stylish and eclectic fashion shop in the heart of one of Tokyo’s busiest stations.
