At this year’s Carnival in Venice, award-winning costume designer Tanja Shultz-Hess used the Parashell Frill as a headpiece for a jaw-dropping costume called “Umbrellina”. A Kabocha Parasol was also used in the costume. It was wonderful to see the items in Venice with such a fantastical costume.
This year I’ve resolved to post more often. We’ll see how long that one lasts… The Sakura parasol made another appearance recently! Here’s a little photo of it at a show I recently had at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo. Look out for it this Spring!
Being that most of my business is based in Japan, it’s exciting to be covered in another language besides Japanese once in a while. This month a series of Parashell parasols were covered in Repubblica Delle Donne’s D Casa magazine.
Our booth at RoomsRoom has the Sakura parasol on display! We are also showing our SS08 collection here at Japan’s Premiere fashion trade show.

If you’re looking for culture in the Tokyo area, you must see the new National Art Center in Tokyo. It’s also a great place if you’re looking for the ultimate gift to bring home after visiting Japan. “Souvenir from Tokyo” in the basement of the the National Art Center in Tokyo is a souvenir shop with a difference. Wonderful selection of items from top designers and craftsmen from Japan and around the world. This couple of culture aficionados dropped by and checked out the collection! DiCesare Designs umbrellas and parasols are available at SFT all year round.
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.
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!

I went down to J-Wave for an interview with Andy Pompilio this week. It was the first time that I’ve been interviewed so I have to admit, I was a little nervous. Andy did his best to make me feel relaxed enough to get through the interview smoothly. He is so laid back and that rubbed off on me
彫刻は私の情熱だ。子供の頃からそうでした。私にとって傘やパラソルのデザインは、彫刻と建築の中間に位置する。試作品のために木彫りをすることもある。還元的な彫刻は私の得意分野ではないかもしれませんが、多くの喜びをもたらしてくれます。
