0:00 Opening 0:27 Attending a correspondence university in my 40s: How I opened "The Bookstore for the Heart" 1:12 "It seems kind of difficult." A single comment from someone made me rethink what it means to be a bookstore. 2:21 It's a bookstore, but writing and talking are also important. 2:48 "I hope that relationships of mutual care will be born in this place." 3:12 "I believe that if you meet and talk with someone for the first time three times, something good will happen." 4:18 An event to compile personal histories into a ZINE, and a story about delicious coffee. 5:32 "A diary I started in junior high school, where I write whenever I feel like it." 6:52 "Books and events are tools for talking to people." 7:50 An original kusudama (decorative ball) I received as an opening gift. 8:18 A cherished book: "It's there to be left behind." 9:30 Ishikawa's latest book: "What Happens When You Learn Psychology as an Adult." 10:02 "Choosing ingredients for oden" is happiness. [We would be happy if you could help us reach many people with likes and hype.] --Series: "The kind of bookstore I wanted to go to." The sixth installment features "Kokoro no Honya" (Bookstore for the Heart), a bookstore located in an apartment room just a 4-minute walk from Higashi-Nagasaki Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, operating only on weekends. The store is filled with books about the "heart," and also hosts events such as journaling groups and knitting gatherings, providing a space for people to connect loosely through books. "Even when people say, 'Please talk to me if you're in trouble,' it's still difficult to talk to someone or share your own problems, isn't it? I feel that having a 'tool' like reading a book, writing something, or knitting makes it easier to just open up." The owner, Rie Ishikawa, who had long wanted to open a store that would be a place for people to belong, quietly questioned the necessity of spaces where people can connect loosely. ▶︎Read Rie Ishikawa's interview article here. https://www.zenplace.co.jp/shiawaseno... ▶︎The kind of bookstore I wanted to visit 01｜SNOW SHOVELING https://www.zenplace.co.jp/shiawaseno... ▶︎The kind of bookstore I wanted to visit 02｜Kusafune Antos-go    • 植物と人の関係を修復する、700冊の本に囲まれて｜独立書店「植物の本屋 草舟あんとす...   ▶︎The kind of bookstore I wanted to visit 03｜Cat's Meow Books    • 「“猫”の文字があれば、ここでは猫本」。元保護猫の“猫店員”と人が助け合う街の本屋に...   ▶︎This is the kind of bookstore I wanted to go to 04｜Zazahonbon    • 屋敷の一室に並ぶ、文化人類学・アート・建築の本700冊｜国内外の“芸能”に魅せられた...   ▶︎This is the kind of bookstore I wanted to go to 05｜GoodRack, a cafe where you can immerse yourself in books    • 訪れる人が、”本棚を育てる”。｜読者の紡いだ言葉が生む、人と本の新たな出会い。「本に...   ⚫︎"A good feeling about yourself, lasting" zen place Pilates Wearable Lifestyle Support Campaign 6.1 (Mon) - 6.28 (Sun) Receive a Google Fitbit Inspire 3 wearable device when you join on the day of your trial lesson.
