This design book was just recently released here in Japan. The title in Japanese is 夢みるデザインプロダクト. Which is kind of difficult to express in English. I guess it means “dreamy” designs or perhaps “surreal” designs. The Kabocha parasols that we made in collaboration with Cocca are included in this wonderful little book. It’s on the bookshelves all across Japan now!

[:en]Well, my lecture at Gallery Wa2 was pretty good. I am thankful to all those who attended for their patience with my sometimes strange Japanese. It was great to have a chance to discuss the creative elements behind the designs. I even had a visit from a special customer. Shinohara Tomoe! She came in and picked up a Parashell Classico White parasol. It suited her really well. She has a very unique character so this item is perfect for her.

[:en]The GRANDE Men’s Pumpkin Umbrella has a unique profile when compared to other Men’s umbrellas. This men’s pumpkin umbrella has a sturdy oak shaft and has a flexible strong frame. It’s wide enough two people and very well balanced. But the main thing about it is that it looks great. Particularly with a nice suit! Here’s Jay busting a GRANDE Men’s Pumpkin Umbrella, looking good on a rainy night not long ago.
http://https://ddi-parashell.com/product/dicesare-grande-2tone-umbrella/[:ja]グランテ紳士パンプキン雨傘は、他のメンズ傘と比べるとユニークな形をしています。この男性用かぼちゃ傘は、頑丈なオーク材のシャフトを持ち、柔軟で丈夫なフレームを持っています。二人掛けの傘としては十分な幅があり、とてもバランスが取れています。しかし、この傘の最大の特徴は、見た目が素晴らしいということです。特に素敵なスーツによく似合う！少し前の雨の夜、少し前の雨の夜、グランテ紳士パンプキン雨傘を持つジェイ。

[:en]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.

[:en]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!
[:ja]日本橋三越には佐藤玄々の傑作「天女像」がある。私がこの彫刻を見ている間、深いパイプオルガンに乗った男性が「It’s a small world」を演奏していた。その音楽は彫刻を瞑想的でありながら、パフォーマンス・アートのようでもあった。傘とパラソルの最新コレクションをぜひご覧ください！
