The "Soft Thinking: See, Read, Think" event will be held from September 1st to 30th.
In conjunction with the "Essays Born from the Editorial Department of the Literary Magazine Gunzo" fair, we asked Kimiyo Ogawa, author of "Flying Women" (Kodansha), a book born from the literary magazine Gunzo, to select 20 books that will encourage us to think about "care and empowerment."
To celebrate the book fair, she will also be a guest on the podcast "Daikanyama Book Truck," which will air in the first week of September. Don't miss it!
