The Story Behind: Freddie’s Love for Japan

Freddie Mercury’s love of Japan went far beyond its music and culture. He was fascinated by Japanese art, craftsmanship and design, collecting everything from exquisite artworks to traditional clothing and textiles.

His passion was reflected throughout Garden Lodge, where Japanese influences were woven into the interiors of his private home. According to his longtime personal assistant and close friend Peter Freestone, Freddie even had a collection of kimonos in his dressing room and a bathroom decorated in Japanese style.

When Peter was once asked which country Freddie loved most, his answer was simple: Japan.

Among Freddie’s personal possessions was this distinctive Japanese cotton robe, decorated with a black-and-white geometric pattern. The robe was part of Lot 2298, Freddie Mercury’s Nightwear and Gowns, 1980s, offered at Sotheby’s landmark auction Freddie Mercury: A World of His Own in London on 13 September 2023. It was subsequently acquired by Tomáš Hykel, founder of World of Freddie, as part of the project’s collection. On 21 September 2026, the robe was professionally divided into 399 individually numbered textile fragments, creating a limited collector’s series. Each fragment has been documented and authenticated by World of Freddie.

Today, its original fabric lives on in a limited series of individually numbered collector’s fragments, allowing a small part of Freddie’s private world to be preserved and treasured by those who share his story.
