Aneqdot Dancing Umbrella

A rain and sun umbrella created in collaboration with hand-woven artist and designer Fumi Hotta

Aneqdot comes from the Swedish word Anekdot, which means "a little story about it." The brand embodies our desire to cherish objects, the stories surrounding them, and the tales that emerge as we use them.

From the archives of Makita Shoten, we have arranged a design based on the traditional local technique of "hogushi weaving," and expressed the delicate faded look of the hogushi weaving technique in multicolored fabric. This is a delicate and stylish long umbrella for women.

The design, which exudes a natural lightness amidst its complexity, is also appealing in that the impression it gives varies dramatically depending on the color. It's a UV-resistant umbrella that can be used in both sunny and rainy weather, so it's also recommended as a parasol. Enjoy the fusion of Nordic and Japanese styles.

Fumi Hotta

For about 10 years, she was based in Sweden and worked internationally as a handwoven artist and designer, earning high praise for her techniques. In 2016, she moved her base of operations to Yamanashi Prefecture, and the following year resumed the production and sale of textile products under her own brand, "Aneqdot." She plans to expand her activities both domestically and internationally, and will be based in Nagoya from 2025.
