The Bookstore Curated by Its Customers

Found a very cool bookstore in Tokyo! Each square on the bookshelves is rented to a different person. The renters are free to curate and sell whatever books they want in their shelf space. My favorite was the shelf filled with handmade photo books of the renter’s cat pic.twitter.com/ySLQG6HMOR

X user Grace (@suzuranfairy) shares photos of a unique bookstore in the Kichijōji neighborhood of western Tokyo. The area is home to unique shops and restaurants and is thus very popular with tourists. Close to the famous Ghibli Museum is a bookstore where people can sell their own books in sections of shelf space.
