THE MEIJI TREASURES OF KEVIN PAGE
THE LEGENDARY MEJI PERIOD COLLECTION OF KEVIN PAGE ORIENTAL ART IN LONDON.
I am so proud to be able to publish this extraordinary gentleman’s book. To showcase his unbelievable collection of Meiji period artefacts. Kevin is in the antiques business since forever and his passion and devotion for what he does, is so much like mine with tattooing. This book is my humble way of celebrating Kevin Page’s inspiring spirit and his lives work. He is one of the last men belonging to an ever vanishing league of experts and gentlemen in this world and the antiques business especially. Since the first time I have been to his incredible shop in 2000 this place blows my mind every time I go. Since my own Studio is only a 5 minute walk away, I went there a whole lot. The idea of a book on these amazing artefacts and the will to share the marvel of this place with you all, was born pretty much immediately after I started making books in 2009. It is a tremendous source of inspiration for my daily work and I hope you find the images as useful and inspiring as I do. So looking forward to this. Thank you Kevin for sharing this with us and for being such an amazing man!
