I found this in a Tokyo newspaper about three years ago. It’s an interesting idea, living in the sky, gardens on the ground and the fun down under.

Is this the future?

Have a curious day.

In an age of identikit supermarkets and bland business parks, we should take some time to celebrate little shops of wonder. Those quirky independent outlets that brighten up the dreariness of the high street.

One of my favourites is The Book Truck, run by Shuhei Mita in Tokyo. He stocks over 1000 mainly vintage and secondhand books about art, fashion, culture, novels, manga, western and Japanese magazines. It’s the kind of place where you are likely to make a joyful discovery.

We would love to hear about your favourite little shops of wonder. Do let us know.

Have a curious day.
