LOST

& FOUND

YOKAI

Every year thousands of umbrellas are lost and forgotten in the rainy streets of London. Partnering with a range of talented artists of various disciplines, we transformed lost property umbrellas (kindly donated by TFL Lost & Found) into Yōkais - supernatural objects that become alive after serving their owner for 100 years.
