About this listen

A touching tale of connection, healing and the magic of handwritten words from the author of Letters from the Ginza Shihodo Stationery Shop

Hidden away in Tokyo's Ginza district lies Shihodo, a hidden gem known only to insiders, with an abundant selection of fine stationery. Behind its counter stands Ken Takarada, the enigmatic shop owner whose warm presence draws those seeking more than just beautiful paper and colourful inks.

To this shop come more customers with worries weighing on their hearts: a young girl being bullied by her classmates, a salary man facing the lonely prospect of retirement. With his quiet wisdom and careful attention, Ken Takarada helps each visitor fulfil their stationery needs, but also to express what lies within their hearts.

In this moving second volume, readers will see how the simple act of putting pen to paper can unlock healing, connection and understanding. Also learn about how Ken and Ryoko - from the neighbouring café Hohozue - met for the first time.
