The Umbrella Fabrics of Iida Kasaten / Seigensha

A 384-page complete record of bespoke umbrella artist Yoshihisa Iida's 20-year practice, capturing all 160 works and 500 color variations across umbrellas, textiles, original drawings, and sketches. The book traces his creative process from hand-drawn inspiration to finished fabric, with essays rooting that process in everyday encounters like Fukuoka street food and backyard plants.
