This set contains 2 volumes, a collection of works by the famous Japanese healing writer Ogawa Ito. They are "Camellia Stationery Shop" and "Sparkling Life"
"Camacha Stationery Store": In Kamakura, there is a stationery store that helps people write for others. Each generation of store owners are women. They will accept any entrustment, even if it is a restaurant menu. Unknowingly, Hatoko Amamiya became the 11th generation successor. The misunderstanding with her grandmother and the fear of starting to live alone in the world made her full of confusion. Letters of condolence to deceased pets, announcement letters announcing divorce, rejection letters refusing to lend money, breakup letters to close friends... Ghostwritten letters are the realistic life of the guests and are also lessons in life.
"Sparkling Life": Hatoko Amamiya inherited the Shancha Stationery Store as the eleventh generation, delivering the unspeakable words hidden in the heart to customers. Letters written by an invisible boy to his mother, letters written by a deceased husband to his wife, letters written by parents who lost their young son to relatives and friends... Hatoko always uses the most complicated but also most sincere way to help guests solve their doubts. Everyone has a different story in their life, and everyone is trying to make the story complete.
Reader comments
Sometimes I feel that gentleness is like genes, which will be reflected in a certain generation of people. If the people you meet are gentle people, you seem to be able to forget those things that are not gentle.
It's so healing. Reading this book feels as fresh and comfortable as drinking a cup of hot green tea.
It's really healing. As I read it, I felt myself becoming gentler. It's great.
The content flows into the heart like a trickling stream, nourishing the dry soil, and like stars illuminating every corner of the dark night. In a noisy world, I hope everyone can return to their true selves and be their warm and comfortable selves.
Healing text. The heroine Bobo seems to be writing about her daily life, but in fact, she is recalling her grandmother in every chapter. She has eyes that discover love and an attitude that takes everyone around her seriously. The sense of boundaries is also very strong, for example, the neighbor's flowers have withered. But she said it was absolutely not allowed to move without the consent of the neighbors. In the article, the two of them baked bread on the day when they presented the letter. The neighbor's wife was in tears. I seriously suspected that Bobo's grandmother had also agreed to this unreasonable request. She was remembering her deceased friend. I finished listening to it while doing housework.
I like it so much, it's so healing. Although I watched it intermittently, I was really moved
It's very sincere and touching. The psychological conflicts and the growth of the characters are really very delicate. I hope they can live a better version of themselves every day and have a sparkling life!
It's beautiful, very heart-warming, and the simple story is heart-warming. Telling the little beauties in life one by one, showing the details of ordinary people's lives to readers in words, the simple words are immersed in sincere emotions. It's worth watching slowly.
It's really healing, and I hope I can heal myself like this in the future outside of complicated and troubling work.
Both of these books are so heartwarming! In "Camellia Stationery Shop", Jiu Zi ghostwrote letters. Each letter is a story, which made me feel the power of words. Mr. Sonoda's letter in "The Glittering Life" is plain but touching. This reminds me of "Worry-Relief Grocery Store", which also solves people's troubles through letters. And I think Hatoko is very similar to Grandpa Langya. They are both very kind and willing to listen to other people's stories and help.💌.
When I watched the first movie, I was thinking, how great it would be if I could live in a small town surrounded by mountains and sea, open a small shop, and live a life of seclusion without any worries. However, the reality is that it is still difficult to live such a life, but such a peaceful and peaceful state of mind can be achieved through hard work.
In the first part, Bobo didn't appear much, and what attracted more attention was everyone who needed to write letters on their behalf. This is actually a very wonderful perspective, not to look at a person's life, but to imagine the whole picture of the person through a letter. It is precisely in the letters of all kinds of different people that they also inspire the softest feelings in the readers' hearts. Just watching the first part alone is enough to be a complete and gripping work.
In the second part, Bobo's life is the main plot, with letters written by others interspersed during the period. The reader's perspective also follows Bobo's psychological changes more. It may be a bit dull, and the perspective will be fixed on one person, which will lose some freshness, but as the author who has watched it all the way, seeing the huge psychological change for the better in Bobo's life, I am also happy for her.
As Bobo reconciles with the previous generation, the image of the previous generation we see becomes more three-dimensional. Shangda always hides her love behind harsh behavior, but her love is definitely thick and strong. There is a saying that parents who love their children must have long-term plans. As Bobo's grandmother, the previous generation could only do her best to accompany Bobo on a longer journey. However, time was limited. Even though she was strict, she had to use strict requirements to make Bobo independent. Even after she left, Bobo could live a good life independently. Facts have proved that the strictness of the previous generation is effective. Even after her death, Bobo can still have a skill and not worry about food and clothing. How can this kind of family affection not be moving?
It was this ghostwriting job that allowed Bobo to experience the joys, sorrows and joys of the world, and true feelings are the most touching. After Bobo matured her thoughts, she finally reconciled with her predecessor. At the same time, she also had the confidence to actively pursue new changes in life and move towards the next stage of life.
Regarding ghostwritten letters, it is also thought-provoking. Rather than keeping love and hate in your heart, it is better to express it and show the most true thoughts and appeals to the other party. Whether it is writing a letter or communicating face to face, the form is not important. The goal is to communicate on an equal footing. If you want to express your love, do it; if you want to say no, say it loudly. If you don't speak for yourself, who is qualified to speak for you?
Such a peaceful life
It's very warm, very plain, very natural, very heart-warming. It's the feeling that flows slowly into my heart like a stream. It heals me. I'm always looking forward to it and enjoying it.
It feels pretty good, I've read the physical book
It's very warm and healing. Reading it can make your heart calm down.
It's like watching a movie, it's very picturesque. It's really an ordinary and happy life. I long for it.
I finished reading it all at once. It felt natural and dull deep inside, but every character seemed to be in front of my eyes. Bobo taught me a lot!
