日傘
Every year, Matsuya Ginza Department Store has Japan’s biggest umbrella show. It’s called the The “100 Umbrella Show” 松屋銀座 GINZAの百傘会. There’s nothing like it outside of Japan. The department store even hands hundreds of umbrellas in the air over the exhibition space in a special installation. A must see umbrella event.
Cocca is a really charming shop in Daikanyama that makes their own fabric for use in clothing, accessories, interior good and numerous other items. The uniqueness of the designs and the quality of the fabric makes for really great items. That’s what excited me about working with the poeple at Cocca on a series of Rhythm Pumpkin umbrellas. Here’s a shot of the items in the Cocca showroom.
Cibone is one of Japan’s foremost design and interior shops. It is an enticing place to discover the latest and most fashionable interior items. Cibone is currently selling a special selection of Parashell parasols.
The show for the latest collection of rain umbrellas and parasols by DiCesare Designs, “Creator’s Room”, held at Matsuya Ginza has concluded. It was a great exhibition! I had the pleasure of meeting some truly fascinating guests!

This is my favorite Parashell parasol. I didn’t like it much when it first came out, but I’ve grown to like it more and more. I thought it might be a bit too formal, but after taking pictures with Sandra, I realized it goes well with casual outfits too.
The idea of a pumpkin umbrella is incredibly cute and playful. A pumpkin parasol is a sun umbrella inspired by the shape of a pumpkin.
Grande Men’s Pumpkin Umbrella arrives at The Lobby in Hankyuu Men’s Osaka. A bookstore and cafe for those who love fashion, art, design, and music.
It’s been several years since I started designing umbrellas and parasols in Japan. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up here, but one thing is certain: it’s truly enjoyable work.

These are some gesture drawings I made for the Parashell parasol. These don’t serve any technical purpose but help in fleshing out the shape of future prototype concepts.
Once again DiCesare Designs items were on display at Matsuya Ginza Department Store the biggest umbrella show in Japan! This year we displayed our latest collection at our booth beneath a great display of several hundred hanging umbrellas in Matsuya’s main hall. I got a chance to meet a lot of interesting people and see their reaction to the designs. It was also interesting to see their reaction to my at times incomprehensible Japanese language skills. An annual event not to be missed by any umbrella connaisseur.
