Letters from the Ginza Shihodo Stationery Shop by Kenji Ueda

5.0

I absolutely adored this! Cosy Japanese novels with cats on the cover are often my favourites but this one was particularly delightful. Thankfully, it lacked the somewhat frustrating repetitive nature of similar stories…I’m looking at you, Before the Coffee Gets Cold 👀

It’s sentimental and heartwarming in all the best ways and I loved the central theme of stationery that tied everyone’s stories together.

If you enjoyed this, check out What You Are Looking For is in the Library, The Kamogawa Food Detectives and The Bookshop Woman.

I’m dreaming of a film or tv show made by the creators of The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House 🥰
