Description
From the publishers of the international bestseller Days at the Morisaki Bookshop comes a new book about the beauty of humble objects, the power of writing, and reconnecting with those you have lost.
Write a letter, heal your heart . . .
Hidden away in a corner of the Ginza neighbourhood is a venerable stationery shop. To venture inside is to find everything your stationery-loving heart desires, from the most delicate paper to fountain pens that fit exactly to the shape of your hand to gorgeously coloured inks. The shop owner intuits your every need, inviting you to take a seat at a small wooden table on the top floor, where you'll find the words flowing, helping you unlock repressed memories, secret longings and your own mysteries.
To this shop comes a young company employee, uncertain in his career and needing a connection back to his past; the hostess of an elegant club; the vice-captain of a high-school archery team, an ageing businessman and a formerly homeless sushi chef. With impeccable manners and a warm demeanour, the shop owner helps each of them with more than just their stationery needs.

„Write a letter, heal your heart“ – dieser Satz ist Programm. Kenji Ueda erzählt in leisen Tönen und mit viel Feingefühl von einer kleinen Schreibwarenhandlung im Herzen von Tokio, in der nicht nur Papier verkauft, sondern auch Schmerz verarbeitet und Verbindung geschaffen wird. Die Geschichten in diesem Buch sind miteinander verwoben wie die feinen Linien einer Tintenzeichnung: melancholisch, zart und doch tief bewegend. Es geht um Menschen, die durch Briefe wieder zueinanderfinden, sich verabschieden oder den Mut zum ersten Schritt fassen. Die Atmosphäre ist fast meditativ – wie ein Spaziergang durch ein stilles, blühendes Ginza in der Abenddämmerung. Ein Buch für alle, die das Alltägliche im Poetischen sehen und sich gerne Zeit zum Lesen nehmen.
