It has been a long time since I have touched an art book, and I reaffirm that it is still good.
After finishing today's stall, Mr. Mita, "Since I've come all the way to Tokyo, I want to go to a bookstore I'm interested in," he said as he neatly cleaned up his mess and got into his Kangoo.
Mr. Mita's way of enjoying driving is to listen to "audibles. Using an audio service with a professional narrator, she makes the most of her driving time by listening to popular novels.
I used to listen to music or the radio, but for the past few years I've been enjoying "Audible. Driving and the novels I listen to go hand in hand. My consciousness is focused on driving, of course, but I don't use all of my capacity. Audible fits perfectly into that empty brain space. Unlike the radio, which you can listen to and follow the story as you listen to it. It keeps me reasonably focused, so I don't get bored and I don't get sleepy, so I recommend it."
Mr. Mita tells us how he enjoys driving, which is typical of a bookstore owner. We headed to our next destination while listening to "Audible.
I am going to visit a bookstore called "ATELIER. The owner, Mr. Hayamizu, is a former employee of "TSUTAYA TOKYO After that, he worked at an antiquarian bookstore before setting up his own business. We used to deal mainly in art books and design-related used books, but we used to only sell them online and at events. Recently, I have been able to visit the store by appointment, and I have always been curious about it.
With high expectations for the bookstore, which is a bookstore of interest, "Kangoo" sets its sights on ATELIER, located in Sangubashi.
A condominium stands alone in a quiet residential area. ATELIER" is located in one of the rooms. The deep room has a layout with bookshelves filling both the left and right walls facing the window. The room is filled with old books on design and art. The space was originally used as an office for architecture and design. The large windows let in pleasant sunlight, adding to the charm of the space.
I was surprised when I heard that it was a vacant building," said Hayamizu. I was surprised when I heard that the space had been vacated. The part that was used as a desk can easily accommodate a large art book, which makes perfect sense.
Mita found an art book she was interested in and immediately headed for the cash register. Looking at the book, she says happily, "It's been a while since I picked up an art book, and I was able to reaffirm how good it is.
The "BOOK TRUCK" and the bookstore in my apartment complex don't have that much demand for art books. That's why I stayed away from them, but seeing them for the first time in a while reminded me of the store I worked at once upon a time. It brought back the feelings I had back then. Art books are fun and stimulating just to look at them."
Seeing Mr. Mita happily shopping at a store he had been curious about, we realized that he really likes books. She also seemed to really like ATELIER.
The antiquarian books we carry are not too maniacal, and the prices are set at affordable levels, so even though we specialize in art books, we have a wide frontage, which I think is very appealing. The space is also very nice, and the store has a very good balance.
