Indulging in his insatiable curiosity and desire for material things, designer Shinsuke Nakata, who has seen and experienced everything from all over the world, past and present, will introduce a number of masterpieces and rare items that he has collected with his unusual perspective. In this third installment, we will look at Keith Haring's Love stamps.

I fell in love with the love stamps at first sight.

What you brought this time was stamps.

These are Keith Haring's Love stamps, issued in the United States in 2025. Love stamps are special stamps with the theme of conveying love and gratitude, and feature love-related motifs such as hearts.

I had no idea that Keith Haring's Love stamps existed. How did you get your hands on them?

Nakata

I'm the type of person who easily follows trends, so I often get interested in things when I hear about them from people I respect and trust.

This stamp is from Sakurai-san, the person who helped me the most when I was working part-time at Beams Plus, and who gave me the opportunity to become a buyer. Sakurai-san was one of the founding members of Beams Plus, and is a fan of casual wear. He is also knowledgeable about Indian jewelry, military watches, gadgets, and more, and he is the person who taught me the fun of accessories.

I currently live in the US, and around this time last year I posted on my Instagram story saying, "Something like this will be coming out this year," and this stamp was it.
