Some images from the latest meeting of designer John DiCesare with the artisans at Kuriyamakoubo in Kyoto . 

The artisans are currently working on the canopy for this year’s special Kyoto Parasol collaboration item. The unique form of this item requires special attention when making the pattern for the linen fabric that will be used for the Pumpkin Parasol’s canopy.
