DiCesare Designs at Hankyuu Umeda in Osaka!
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.
Someiyoshino Sakura Parasol by DiCesare Designs
Somei Yoshino is a variety of Japanese Sakura tree that has nearly pure white blossoms that are tinged in a soft pink.
This limited edition parasol was created in collaboration with the wonderful artist, AYA KATO. Aya Kato often works with fairytales and traditional motifs, turning them into bold, psychedelic, contemporary art pieces in a style sometimes recalling Manga and Art Nouveau.
The intention of this collaboration was to provide Aya Kato with a canvas for her motifs in the form of the iconic Sakura Parasol.
This project is special to me and the Somei Yoshino is one of the nicest parasols I’ve ever made.
Debuting today on Jwave radio today!
DiCesare x Cocca Collaboration umbrellas and parasols
For our third collaboration with Cocca we made a series of Kabocha Pumpkin parasols and a Parashell parasols too! The fabric we used was created by a designer named 2e san. The items are really eccentric and stylish. Look for the items at one of the many department store events across Japan I will be at this season!

Bronze Sculptures
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.
VERY x Isetan Shinjuku x DiCesare Designs
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.
DiCesare Designs Sakura Parasol Photoshoot
This is a good friend of mine, a model and a customer as well. Abe san recently picked up a Sakura Semplice parasol at the Matsuya show and went out with a photographer friend and took some great photos. Look for the shots in the gallery soon!
DiCesare Designs – Matsuya Ginza 100 Umbrella Exhibition
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!
