I was out in the city today and got a chance to visit one of my favorite bookstores, Kinokuniya Book Stores. This is where I get my Japanese Craft book fix. Usually I just admire the books and absorb as much information as I can. But today I actually purchased a book. Something about the "Zakka" style just inspires me. The craft's are so clean and fresh. The books themselves have exquisite layouts and photographs. All the components to make a perfect craft book. Here are a few pictures. Enjoy!

I would be sold on those photographs, too!
¡Wonderful!. Congrats.
I love Japanese craft books. In fact I have my eye on one for bags as week speak. Shall I treat myself?
great choice of zakka book, I love gazing at them in Kinkokuniya as well!
I always want to buy the expensive zakka cookbooks, but rarely do.
The photos are so good, it makes them worth every penny!
indigo blue - I don't think I would ever say no to that question

that was one of the patterns I loved in the book! I still haven't had a chance to make it, one day.
Thanks for all your kind words

I have to tell you that you shop at all the places my Grandmother used to take me when I was a very little girl! My Grandmother was half Japanese and would take me and my Mother to Japantown often for sushi and shopping. Brings back great memories.
