Story

On every trip Tara makes to Japan, there is always one destination that is a must for every visit, that is the T-site Bookstore in Daikanyama. This is where Tara fills her suitcase to the brim with Japanese magazines and books. 

On her last trip, when Japan’s Borders were still closed, there was an exhibition of Wataru Uchida’s in the bookshop that she fell in love with.
