Overview | "Matsumaru Honpo" is a shop-in-shop bookstore that opened in Maruzen Marunouchi Main Store. Regardless of the format or genre, new books, used books, paperbacks, manga, etc., each book is classified and laid out according to its own theme, based on the "knowledge" it contains. The shelves are arranged in a row, encouraging visitors to wander around and Spatial Production "unexpected encounters." In an age where books can be searched on a computer and purchased with one click, we present an exciting and challenging concept of bookstore that utilizes the message that emanates from the entire bookshelf, as a new opportunity for communication between readers and bookstores that is unique to physical stores. |
