Nyankodō Bookstore Tape

One of my favorite bookstores in Japan — Nyankodō — is known as cat corner in Jimbōchō (book town) in Tokyo. These are two original tape designs of the actual bookstore!

This bookshop first began in 2013 known for featuring everything cats — a specialty shop concept that began after bookstores were struggling and shutting down with the domination of online markets and, of course, Amazon. It very much reminds me of The Shop Around the Corner bookstore in the film You’ve Got Mail. If you are visiting Tokyo in the near future, it is a must-visit for all cat and book lovers!
