"Catacalypso" Size: 3.04" Price: SOLD


You are looking at one of two pinnacle pieces in the careers of both Junichi and Kousuke, because this Rose Roads x Kinoko Heads (Kousuke Oyama) collab is the ultimate in what they've created to this point. I picked up this perfectionary cab from Jun at the Team Japan show in late May, then handed it over to Kousuke while I was there so that he could work his leather magic with it. The cab is slightly smaller than most full size cabs, but still big enough that I'd hate to call it 'medium' sized. Kousuke knew I wanted him to stretch it to the limits with these, so he made what he considers his finest two pieces to date for me. I think if you'll look closely at the pics, you'll agree that these creations are artistic perfection, with the leather work matching the pattern of Jun's cab. Just check it out, and then try to imagine that SOMEHOW, this was all made and carved out of thin pieces of leather, some of them cut into tiny pieces which he has arranged so astoundingly perfectly. I just can't get over what he did here. We all know how astounding Jun's cabs are, that's a given by now, but then to have them dressed up like this? MIND.....BOGGLING!!!! Oh, and don't miss how he signed them on the back of the pendant. Good lord.
