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.

This Month’s Story magazine in Japan features a cute article on how to beat the Summer monday blues. The article features images of the Kyoto Sakura Parasol and the Natura Pumpkin Parasol. Lately it’s been really hot so these parasols really are a surefire ways to beat the heat!

It just got a lot hotter didn’t it? Summer is finally here and this one’s going to be a hot one. August’s Voce features an article about the Marina Pumpkin Parasol and a Beige Classico Pumpkin Parasol too!
This month’s Partner magazine features the Kyoto Pumpkin brella Parasol in it’s 2012 Parasol list! The Kyoto Pumpkin parasol is painstakingly made of hand-dyed linen using traditional dying techniques from the Kuriyama workshop in Kyoto. Each one is original and the fabric is absolutely gorgeous.
These are some recent photos from a shoot done by Pre Marie Japon in Kobe. The White Frill Parashell works so well as a “Wataboshi” which is a traditional Japanese wedding hat worn with a white wedding Kimono called a “Shiromuku”. I was happily surprised to see how well the Parashell goes with traditional Japanese wedding attire. Special thanks to Pre Marie Japon for arranging this shoot.
