craftsmanship that has been inherited across countries and races” (Planning/Stationery and miscellaneous goods concierge Genma Kimura) This is the third trunk show of “CORNERS” at Roppongi Tsutaya Bookstore. While receiving feedback from our customers, we have been searching for better ways to communicate and more exciting ways to appeal. As a store that provides a source of inspiration for Global Thinkers, we strive to create exhibitions that are a rewarding experience just by touching and looking at the space, and we also put effort into displaying materials and rare items. Now that the word “sustainable” is becoming synonymous with environmental consideration, we hope that you will be able to experience the craftsmanship that is passed down to the next generation, transcending national and racial boundaries. Please come and visit us for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with items that will travel with you for the rest of your life. What is CORNERS
