Description
A touching tale of connection, healing and the magic of handwritten words from the author of Letters from the Ginza Shihodo Stationery Shop. Hidden away in Tokyo’s Ginza district, Shihodo is a hidden gem known only to insiders, with an abundant selection of fine stationery. Behind its counter stands Ken Takarada, the enigmatic shop owner whose warm presence draws people seeking more than beautiful paper and colourful inks. Customers arrive carrying worries in their hearts, including a young girl being bullied by her classmates and a salaryman facing the lonely prospect of retirement. With quiet wisdom and careful attention, Ken helps each visitor fulfil their stationery needs while also expressing what lies within their hearts. In this moving second volume, the simple act of putting pen to paper unlocks healing, connection and understanding. The book also reveals how Ken and Ryoko, from the neighbouring Hohozue café, first met. The contents are in English.
