ma~ru~zen

reading is good. from young your parents told you to read (get educated) and that will be your assets in the future.
although lately you hardly have anytime to read, you even struggle with your daily conversation with God and your journaling.
yet a visit to a bookstore is such a pleasure to you.
a pleasure of reading, a pleasure of discoveries, a pleasure of starting a mental journey.
often you pick up new ideas and new inspirations.
if not because of your passion in browsing and reading, you will never really discover the beauty of tokyo parks and garden.  if not because your passion in reading you will never be able to know tokyo deeper, better.
you often frequent this bookstore whenever you have a "lunch for one" time.  maruzen is located in chiyoda-ward, a big 5 floors bookstore just within stone throw away from your client's office.

view of maruzen from outside, this is not your normal approach as you usually come here via the connecting underground passage, but you were taking a stroll that day, so you have a glimpse of her physical appearance.

 and then the inner beauty.  she is a lady with knowledge and substance. she is well versed in all subject matters including foreign book collection.
you remember years ago you visited here with your honey and back then you had the full view of yamanote JR line but now all the view has been blocked by additional bookshelves...
you sneaking in to the space in between the book shelves and snap this view.  you remember in the past there are chair and small table facing the train lines and a place for you to read.  today you have to sneak in for the same preview.
and you certainly enjoying sneaking up here to the 5th floor browsing the english books. yes browsing and not buying ^.^
