Isn’t it fun to pick out souvenirs while traveling or treat yourself to a snack? This book introduces a wide variety of items—not just souvenirs from all over Japan, but also treats to offer guests, gifts for family celebrations, and sweets to enjoy alongside picture books. It also features a collection of cute packaging, so it’s highly recommended for those who buy things just for the packaging! By the way, the treat I wanted to buy was “Nekodora,” a beloved confection from Fukushima Prefecture. I hope you’ll give this book a read and head out to buy some treats to treat yourself or as souvenirs!

Japanese uses three writing systems: kanji, katakana, and hiragana.
This book has many “Playful letter” in Kanji by artist. If you could not know the letter’s mean, you might feel fun and merriment.
Of course, understanding the deeper meaning enhances the enjoyment, but let us save that discussion for another time. For now, simply experience the power and joy of Japanese characters just as the author presents them. While the sheer variety and complexity of Japanese characters might make them seem daunting, the ones featured in this book are sure to resonate deeply with you.
The Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum—dedicated to the artist—is located not far from Shiba Park Hotel. If this book leaves you feeling a little doki-doki (excited and inspired), why not pay the museum a visit?
