Hohohoza (formerly Gake Shobo) is a bookstore located in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto. It's a unique and interesting shop where you can find a wide variety of items related to life, especially books on food, lifestyle, art, and social issues, as well as miscellaneous goods from various artists. This book, which I purchased when I visited Kyoto, is an essay featuring illustrations and photos about cafes in Kyoto. The interviews with individual cafe owners are fascinating! The book's structure is also enjoyable, and I highly recommend it to cafe lovers. Please see the details below. ※The information in the text is as of 2014. ———— - Title: The Day I Started a Cafe - Author: Text and Illustrations: Hohohoza - Size: 30.5 x 21.5 x 1.2 cm ※Measured by an amateur.

It is a sturdy hardcover book. - Contents: Essays and illustrations about cafes in Kyoto - Published: August 15, 2014 - Publisher: Gake Shobo (at the time) ※Currently, Shogakukan is the publisher, but this book was published by Gake Shobo (Hohohoza). - Price: ¥1,389 + tax 【Other】 A "supplementary paper, Ofukubin Ta" is included separately from the main book (Image 13). Overall, there are almost no folds or stains, and I think the condition is good, but there are some inconspicuous pressure marks and scratches on the cover (Images 3, 4). Also, as it is a long-term storage item, you may feel slight fading or smell due to aging. Please consider this after understanding these aspects of used books. ※It will be shipped with waterproof protection via "Rakuraku" or "Yu-yu" Mercari delivery. ※Recycled packaging materials may be used. In that case, I will choose the best condition possible and perform maintenance such as reinforcement depending on the situation. ※I do not accept price negotiations. I am sorry, but I will refrain from responding to comments requesting a price reduction. #cafe #Kyoto #Hohohoza #lifestyle
