This store mainly deals in photo books. The owner, Mr. Kobayashi, has a great sense of style and handles cool photo books and art books from all over the world. Most of the books are new publications, but they also carry used books. The prices are inexpensive, and popular items sell out quickly, but we also carry many books that can only be purchased through this store in Japan. We are strong in fashion-related photo books, and we also carry zines. In addition to photo books, we also carry books on design, such as collections of works by overseas designers, exhibition catalogs, and typography books that you can find only at this store. The store often holds exhibitions of artists and book events.

A gallery, bookshop and distributor located in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The location is used as photographer Yukihito Kono’s studio, but on weekends it is open as a gallery. Since 2018, they have been working as a distributor for international independent publishers such as JM Ramirez Suassi, Multipress, and Overlapse, as well as self-published works. The books they carry are wonderful and I buy a book every time I see them at an event in Tokyo.
