The shopfront of this secondhand bookstore in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, features built-in bookcases facing the street by the entrance, overflowing with old books. At night, when the showcases are illuminated, the books appear dimly lit. Interested passersby peruse the old books under deep, overhanging eaves.
