I'm not a souvenir shopper, I always find the stores tacky. That's why I really like your Tokyo Ueno book, it feels authentic. It is an actual souvenir as opposed to a knick-knack that looked cool at the time...
Thanks! The book is pretty authentic as far as souvenirs go. Although, I thought the 'souvenir' stores in Tokyo weren't tacky at all (unlike in other places). The items in the stores in Tokyo were generally locally-made, quality pieces that I would enjoy having (if I had a place to keep them).
Murakami is my favorite author 😌if you haven't read anything else and want to dig further, I would suggest Kafka on the shore or Hard-boiled wonderland and the End of the world :) I like your stamp book !
@@onceuponaglobe It was years ago ! My mother offered me Kafka on the shore as a gift if I remember well 😊 I've read every single one if his book ever since

Yes, great author- I really enjoyed The Windup Bird Chronicles and will definately read those three! How did you come across his books?
