New 'Hokusai Graphic' Sunshade Collection Inspired by Japanese Bridges

Celebrate Japanese Art with Hokusai Graphic's Latest Sunshade Collection

The renowned Japanese brand, Hokusai Graphic, has unveiled a new collection of lightweight folding sunshades inspired by the artworks of the legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai. Set to hit stores and the official online platform, The Ichi, on December 19, this launch represents a fusion of exquisite design and practicality, perfectly aligned with the brand's mission of bringing Japanese culture to the global stage.

The new collection features two standout designs, Fukuinokashi and Kumonokakehashi, which are both inspired by Hokusai's iconic series, Shokoku Meihashi Kiran—a stunning showcase of notable bridges across Japan. With a keen eye for detail, Hokusai Graphic draws from the vibrant colors depicted in Hokusai's works, transforming these hues into a practical accessory that is both stylish and functional.

A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Hokusai Graphic's sunshades are not just ordinary umbrellas; they combine traditional Japanese art with modern functionality. Distinctive patterns, like the snake-eye design, are incorporated into the sunshades, giving them a contemporary twist while retaining a sense of tradition. The careful selection of colors ensures that each piece echoes the dramatic landscapes and structures that Hokusai so beautifully captured.

The sunshades are approximately 90 grams lighter than previous models, enhancing their portability without compromising on strength and durability. Constructed from flexible fiberglass, these sunshades are designed to withstand the elements, offering robustness that makes them suitable for both sunny and rainy weather. The 99.9% UV blocking and shading capability ensure optimal protection, making these sunshades a must-have accessory for any season.
