Morioka Shoten

Morioka Shoten was opened on 5 May 2015 by Yoshiyuki Morioka, a bookseller who ran several traditional and second-hand bookshops for many years before coming up with the idea that a bookshop could be run with only one title for sale.^[2][8][9]

Each week, the shop selects a single title, multiple copies of the selected book are made available, and the interior of the shop is organized with art exhibitions or objects related to the book's content.^{[10][11][12][13]} Meetings and talks with authors are also held, allowing direct interaction between buyers and creators of the work.^[14][15] The shop is described as a cross between a bookshop, a contemporary art gallery and a pop-up shop, ^[16][5][7] generating interest among visitors and international media for its unusual approach.^{[15][17][18][19][1][7]}

The bookshop is open from Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays, and changes the titles in its catalogue every six days.^[20][21] Among the titles that have been exhibited, Japanese authors abound, but Hans Christian Andersen and Tove Jansson have also featured.^[22][23][7]
