Matsuya Ginza, Kyoto Style with DiCesare Designs

DiCesare Designs Ginza Show

The Kyoto Sakura parasol and The Kyoto Kabocha parasol are a special collaboration with Kuriyama Kobo. A traditional Kyoto fabric studio that created a special pattern for both the Sakura Parasol and the Kabocha Pumpkin Parasol. The fabric is a delicate linen dyed in a style combining “Bingata” and “Kyo Yūzen” techniques.

You just have to see them to understand how well this fabric compliments the Sakura Parasol and the Kabocha Pumpkin Parasol shapes. A jaw-dropping limited edition series that reminds me why I started designing umbrellas and parasols in the first place. Available till the end of this month at Matsuya Ginza.

DiCesare collection at Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi

DiCeare mitsukoshi

Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi is where the masterpiece, “Statue of a Celestial Nymph” by Gengen Sato is located. While I was looking at the sculpture, a man on a deep pipe organ played “It’s a small world”. The music made viewing the sculpture almost meditative but also like a performance art piece. Come down to see our latest collection of umbrellas and parasols!

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

DiCesare Kato Sakura Parasol Someiyoshino

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!
