The Wpc. × Traveling Coffee Shop Cream Soda Umbrella Mini is a unique folding rain umbrella created through a collaboration between Japanese umbrella brand Wpc. and (Tabisuru Kissa / Traveling Coffee Shop), a creative project known for traveling throughout Japan and producing beautifully colored original cream sodas.

This collaboration transforms the nostalgic atmosphere of Japanese kissaten-style cream soda into a transparent umbrella that can be carried and enjoyed on rainy days.

Rather than using a conventional illustrated print, the umbrella features actual cream soda photography taken by tsunekawa, capturing the vivid color, transparency and sparkling appearance of the drinks.

The photographs are printed across the polyurethane canopy, creating the impression of looking through a glass filled with colorful cream soda.

When raindrops collect on the transparent surface, they add another layer of texture to the printed design, enhancing the sparkling, carbonated appearance of the cream soda motif.

The umbrella is available in two designs.

Blue – “Blue Sky Cream Soda” features a refreshing blue color inspired by a clear sky.

Green – “Fresh Green Cream Soda” uses a vivid green tone inspired by lush new greenery.

Each version preserves the transparent quality of a vinyl-style umbrella while adding rich color and photographic detail.

The umbrella's overall silhouette is also inspired by a glass of cream soda.

A distinctive round handle shaped to resemble a scoop of ice cream creates a playful finishing detail at the base of the folded umbrella.

The design is further complemented by a cherry-shaped charm, referencing the classic cherry often placed on top of Japanese cream soda.

Together, these small details make the umbrella feel like a three-dimensional interpretation of the drink rather than simply an umbrella printed with a pattern.

The canopy is made from polyurethane, selected for its clear appearance and vivid color reproduction. This material allows the photographic cream soda colors to remain bright while maintaining the transparent character of the umbrella.

The frame uses a three-section folding construction, allowing the umbrella to collapse into a compact form for carrying.

Its 50 cm ribs create an open diameter of approximately 85–87 cm, providing practical coverage for everyday rain while keeping the folded umbrella relatively compact.

The umbrella measures approximately 53 cm in total length when open and approximately 23–24 cm when folded, making it easy to carry in a handbag, backpack or tote.

The approximate weight is 220 g, balancing the decorative transparent canopy with everyday portability.

Unlike folding umbrellas that require each rib to be manually snapped into position, this model uses Wpc.'s easy-open manual mechanism.

The frame can be opened and closed smoothly without individually folding each rib, making it quicker and more convenient to use when entering or leaving trains, shops, cafés or buildings.

Parts of the umbrella frame use fiberglass, a lightweight and flexible material that offers resistance to breaking.

Wpc. specifically develops its transparent umbrellas with long-term use in mind, moving away from the idea of vinyl umbrellas as disposable rain protection.

The stronger frame construction and reusable folding format make this umbrella suitable for repeated everyday use.

A dedicated umbrella storage sleeve is included, allowing the folded umbrella to be stored more neatly inside a bag after use.

The combination of transparent material and colorful photography also helps preserve visibility around the user while walking in the rain.

This can be particularly convenient in busy streets, stations and urban environments where being able to see through parts of the canopy is useful.

The Cream Soda Umbrella Mini is suitable for commuting, school, shopping, travel, café visits and everyday rainy weather.

Its unusual design also makes it especially appealing to fans of Japanese retro cafés, kissaten culture, cream soda, colorful stationery and accessories, and Japanese lifestyle design.

Because the umbrella recreates one of the most recognizable nostalgic drinks found in Japanese cafés, it also works as a distinctive gift for people interested in Japanese culture.

The collaboration combines Wpc.'s practical umbrella construction with the colorful visual world of Traveling Coffee Shop, creating an accessory that turns rainy weather into part of the design experience.
