「ご近所で気にかけ合う、ゆるやかな繋がりが生まれたら」｜築40年・木造アパートの一室で週末だけ開かれる「こころの本屋」店主・石川理恵さんの1日【こんな本屋に、行きたかった vol.6】

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 my role as a bookstore owner. 2:21 Even though it's a bookstore, 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 discussion 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: "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 my happiness.

This time, we visit "Kokoro no Honya" (Bookstore of the Heart), a bookstore located a 4-minute walk from Higashi-Nagasaki Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, operating only on weekends in an apartment room. The store is filled with books related to "the heart," and also hosts events such as journaling groups and knitting gatherings, creating a space where people can connect loosely through books. "Even when someone says, 'Please feel free to talk to me if you're in trouble,' it's still difficult to talk to someone or share your own problems, isn't it? Instead, having a 'tool' like reading a book, writing something, or knitting makes it easier to just open up." Shop owner Rie Ishikawa, who had long wanted to open a shop that would be a place for people to belong, quietly questioned the necessity of spaces where people can connect in a relaxed way. ▶︎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... ▶︎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... ▶︎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... ▶︎The kind of bookstore I wanted to go to 07｜Honya Hitorigokochi 「一人ひとりの“ここちよさ”を探る、手引きになれば」｜築60年の金物商家が、本屋と喫... ▶︎The kind of bookstore I wanted to go to 08｜Suginoie Shobo 「時間の無駄、それが人生を面白くするんですよ」｜自宅ガレージに8,000冊、長過ぎる... ⚫︎"The Shape of Happiness" A web media where you can find hints that connect "someone else's life" to "your own happiness."
