A drunken child chained by the devil; the child with horns, standing on an open book while urinating on a table. Holding a short sword in his right hand and a stick from which a crown is dangling over his left shoulder. The devilish creature holding the chains on the right, flames in the background. Illustration to Johann von Schwartzenberg, ‘Ain buchle wider das zutrincken’, published as part of ‘Der Teütsch Cicero’, Augsburg: H. Steiner, 1535. Woodcut

Daunt Books, in Marylebone, London, is an Edwardian beauty of a bookshop specialising in travel. Fiction, non-fiction, and travel volumes are sorted alphabetically by geographical location. When you peruse the 'Japan' section you will find Japanese authors, books that are set in Japan, and books that are about Japan. Trust me, it's awesome. (photos:various on IG, none are mine)
