IIDA KASATEN is known for umbrellas individually crafted with care, defined by beauty and assured craftsmanship. While A&S has previously presented items specially commissioned by us, this event invites you to select fabric and handle combinations to create an umbrella crafted to order, tailored to your preference.
For parasols, ten A&S original fabrics are offered alongside five handle options; for all-weather umbrellas, five specially commissioned fabrics and fourteen handle options are available. All umbrellas are crafted from lightweight carbon frames, designed with everyday comfort and ease of use in mind. Folding umbrellas are finished with particular attention to smooth, precise opening and closing.
This event offers the opportunity to select in person, allowing you to assess the material qualities and quiet presence firsthand. We invite you to view the collection in store.

PROFILE
A custom umbrella workshop led by umbrella maker Yoshihisa Iida. The workshop creates parasols, rain umbrellas, and all-weather umbrellas using original textiles designed in-house. Without a permanent storefront, IIDA Umbrella travels across Japan twice a year to hold order-taking and sales events. In addition to umbrellas, the studio also produces a variety of fabric and paper items derived from its textile designs. Other activities include crafting umbrellas for film and theater productions, collaborating with creators from other fields, and engaging in various umbrella-related projects.
