Description

[Machine Translation] Born in Shinjuku at the end of the Meiji era (1868-1912), he founded a bookstore at the age of 21 in the early Showa era (1926-1989). From his youth, when he carried books in his Ford Roadster and created literary magazines with writers and painters of his generation in a store with an attached gallery, to his later years, when he was called the "mayor of the night" for his "habit of playing with his own life," through the postwar reconstruction of the city. This long-awaited reprint of a memoir by the owner of a bookstore that continued to foster and transmit culture in Shinjuku, a city that underwent "eye-opening transformations.
