BUNGUTENGOKU BOOK · Allister Lee

A pilgrimage to the best old stationery stores across Japan.

"In the last 3 years I have visited over 100 old Showa Era stationery stores across
Japan, documenting and digging through each space while searching for vintage
stationery items. Presented within these pages are a selection of 15 of my favourite stationery store spaces, faces and finds. Each stationery store profile features an English and Japanese text entry page, shop exterior and interior photos, a candid portrait of the shop owner, and a photo example of some 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 across all parts of the world and has a
broader appeal to anyone with a curious nature and adventurous spirit for travel
and exploring interesting spaces." - Allister Lee
