2.Those accustomed to browsing through thousands of books in large bookstores may find Japan's Morioka Shoten a little strange.That's because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza,Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.
Opened in May 2015,Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka.He began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo's Kanda district before branching out to open his own store.It was here while organizing book reading and signing that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind.Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling multiple copies of just one single book.In November 2014,he partnered with Masamichi Toyama to establish a unique bookstore with the philosophy of"A Single Room with a Single Book".
The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests.Recent choices include The True Deceiver,an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson,Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales,and a collection of Karl Blossfeldt's photography of plants.Morioka has also selected books written by a famous Japanese author Mimei Ogawa.
To highlight his only offering,Morioka often uses clever tricks.For example,when selling a book about flowers,the storekeeper decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book.He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers.Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book,not just a bookstore.
Risky as the idea might seem,things appear to be going well.The storekeeper says he has sold over 2,100books.Things can get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors form other countries.
