Reading Fact
Morioka Shoten Ginza, a unique bookstore in Tokyo, offers only one book every week and organizes events to discuss it every evening.
The concept of a “single room with a single book” was invented by Yoshiyuki Morioka to increase focus on a single book. Through that, Morioka argues, a reader’s relationship with a book would become much more personal and because of that their pleasure of reading would also be elevated.
For six continuous days, Morioka’s bookstore offers one title and encourages buyers to attend group discussions to connect the author with its readers.
History Fact
Upon dying, some pharaohs were sealed into their tombs alongside their living servants, pets, and concubines.

They soon patched over their differences, enough to become a real-life couple for some time.
