Japanese Bookstore in New York City! Cool Finds at Kinokuniya - #12

Hi guys!

Long time no see. Hope all is well.

Quick video about a cool place I found!

The other week my sister, mom and I decided to..."be sick"...on a Wednesday and head into NYC for a matinée presentation of The Lion King on Broadway. OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING, you guys have to see it!

But that's besides the point...

It started raining so we ducked in a building, only to look inside and find a 3-story bookstore filled with everything Japan-related you could think of!

Books, grammars, travel books, novels *in* Japanese, stationery, magazines, etc.

Too cool!

It's called Kinokuniya, and their main location in New York City is pretty impressive. Here's the site:

I picked up some pretty cool grammar books and charts, and also a book on North Korean art.

Here they are:

- Japanese Fundamentals chart by Mebane Boyd (here at Amazon)
- Japanese Verbs and Essentials of Grammar book by Rita Lampkin (here at Amazon)
- Essential Japanese Grammar book by Everett Bleiler (here at Amazon)
- Art Under Control in North Korea book by Jane Portal (here at Amazon)

Check 'em out in the video, and remember to comment, rate and subscribe!

Feel free to email me here as always.

Below is the video or you can watch it at this link. Love ya!

  1. What are your thoughts on simultaneous study of japonese and Chinese? I studied Japanese for a while before starting mandarin, and I still find myself wishing sometimes that the Chinese characters had their more pleasant-sounding Japanese kun readings.

    Cheers
