FIRE AT MAIKO ANTIQUES

On the 11th of December 2024, a terrible tragedy occurred when Maiko Antiques – the magical location for our latest book, ‘The Steadfast Tin Soldier in the Land of the Yokai’ – burned down.

We have helped Shō and Cotae of Maiko Antiques to mount a crowdfunding campaign and they would be especially grateful if you could donate to help restore the roof and strengthen the pillars so that they can re-open at least part of their store.

We have created a special edition of the book to help with the fund raising. It is a gratitude gift to those who donate upwards of ¥25,000. Please visit gogetfunding.com/maiko-antiques to learn more and to donate.

‘The Steadfast Tin Soldier in the Land of the Yokai’ Special Maiko Antiques Edition

This special edition contains bonus material and is a precious testimony to the rich beauty of the shop as it was. It will only be available publicly after 3rd April 2025 when the fundraising campaign closes.
