**A quiet sunshade for walking in the city**
Under strong sunlight, people unconsciously hold up their hands to create a shadow around their faces.
ZEN SHADE is a parasol that gives form to this unconscious gesture.
Rather than covering the entire body broadly, it casts a shadow only on the minimum necessary areas: the face, eyes, and head.
The small square held horizontally accommodates the movement of the body and functions without excessive assertion.
Due to its lightness, rather than 'holding' it, it is a tool that is an extension of everyday movement.
A small, horizontally held square adds just the right amount of shadow.
The aesthetic sense of Zen.
### Form emerging from the aesthetic of subtraction
