Document 72 Hours - Season 4 Episode 32

Magazines, novels, art books, and specialty books. Various worlds are condensed into one place in a bookstore. Even with the proliferation of online shopping, there is no end to the number of people who visit bookstores in search of chance encounters with books. The best-selling items lined up in the bookstores offer a glimpse of today's Japan. Change Yourself.

We looked into the lives of people we met in the forest of the printed word.
