In the past 3 years I visited over 100 Showa Era stationery stores across Japan.
Presented within these pages are a selection of 15 of my favourite stationery store spaces, faces and finds from my travels across Japan.
Each of the 15 Stationery Store profiles feature an English and Japanese text entry page, shop exterior and interior photos, a portrait of the shop owner, and a photo of the old product that I found inside that shop.
This publication is of particular interest to creatives, stationery collectors and Showa Retro enthusiasts from Japan and all parts of the world, and has a broad appeal to anyone with a curious nature and adventurous spirit.
BUNGUTENGOKU is available for purchase on the SHOP ABC section of my website.
