Letters from the Ginza Shihodo Stationery Shop

Hidden away in 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. Ken, 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, searching for a connection 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, Ken helps each of them with more than just their stationery needs. Ken takes cares of his customers with genuine fondness. But while his shop has many visitors, who will look after him?
