I walked briskly over the jagged cobblestones of the sidewalk pavement. The sky was pissing rain upon the roof of my umbrella. A dark and somber day, when the crowd knitted its steps together. I had to hurry, driven to overtake them all, one by one.

有頂天, U-CHO-TEN in Japanese means "Listen to the song of the rain." The first umbrella from this limited edition accompanied me for several years. I collected raindrops from different cities, sometimes remembering the scent of those rains on summer days. Brussels, Josaphat Park, November 2018. Zeebrugge, Port of Bruges, February 2020.
