That looks like a very interesting shop. I like the colourful pictures in the second photo. I can't read Japanese, but I have read quite a few Japanese Zen and philosophy books translated into Dutch and English.
I can't believe this, it's a dream-shop!
The kind of place I love: bookshops!The pictures you show are really beautyful. But if the books are really from the old periods, they must cost a fortune!or are they re-prints?
Fantastic items on display! Would love to go indide this shop.
gorgeous click for beautiful images ...
thanks!
