Edo Tokyo Kirari Project: 3 Handpicked Items to Navigate the Humid, Wet Days with Ease

Unstable weather and relentless heat—Japanese summers often bring sudden downpours or intense, localized rain in the afternoon. Whether you’re heading off on holiday or to the office, or just spending the day at home, it’s worth having small comforts to hand to help lift your mood. We’ve selected three standout items from Edo Tokyo Kirari Project model businesses—thoughtfully chosen to bring ease and enjoyment to your summer afternoons, across lifestyle, fashion, and food.

● White Rose’s Kateru Piccolo Umbrella

Perfect for outings during the rainy season, the Kateru Piccolo from vinyl umbrella pioneers White Rose is a compact umbrella originally created at the request of mountain climbers. Its clear vinyl canopy offers unobstructed visibility, making it easier to walk and take photos without blocking faces or views. Inside, a reverse-flow vent protects against wind gusts that can flip umbrellas inside out, an especially useful feature on mountain paths. The umbrella sleeve features a special hook-and-loop fastener that attaches to backpacks, allowing for quick access and making it ideal for hikes and city use alike.

●Tsuchiya Kaban’s Ame Waterproof Square Tote

Rainy days often call for extra care when heading out, especially when it comes to your bag. That’s where the Ame Waterproof Square Tote from leather goods manufacturer Tsuchiya Kaban’s TSUCHIYA KABAN brand, comes in handy. Crafted from fine waterproof leather that resists both water and stains, keeping your documents and belongings safe and dry. With seven pockets in varying sizes to neatly organise your essentials, its clean, sophisticated design makes it a perfect fit for business settings too.

●Eitaro Sohonpo’s Eitaro Anmitsu

On hot, humid days, it’s only natural that we crave something light and smooth. At times like these, Eitaro Sohonpo’s Eitaro Anmitsu are the ideal treat. Silky, pleasantly texturedkantenjelly is topped with seven kinds of fruit—cherry, pear, apple, peach, and more—for a cooling and colorful dessert. It comes with both white and brown sugar syrup, so you can choose whichever suits your mood. Thoroughly chilled, it offers the same refined sweetness as served at the brand’s Nihonbashi café.
