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!

Bronze Sculptures

DiCesare Bronze cat

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.

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.

DiCesare Designs Debut at Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi

DiCesare Mitsukoshi Nihombashi

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.
