19.01.2022 My favourite book in the shop right now! Over the course of centuries, Japan has developed a culture of the handmade known world-over for its quality, precision, and artistry. Today, these traditions are being kept alive by master artisans who have dedicated their lives to the stewardship of this irreplaceable cultural heritage. Handmade in Japan takes the reader on a journey through the island nation, offering insight into its varied and fascinating culture and traditions, ...while also revealing the histories of its diverse regions, from the fiery southern island of Kyushu, to the imperial capital of Kyoto, to the snowy wilderness of Hokkaido. The book provides a rare glimpse into some of Japan's most remarkable workshops, unveiling the techniques and stories behind thousand-year-old pottery kilns, katana swordsmiths, and the art of crafting delicate tea whisks out of bamboo. Introduced with a foreword by Japanese star architect Kengo Kuma, with exquisite photography of the craftspeople and their impressive wares, and a series of short essays looking at the significance of their materials, Handmade in Japan celebrates the craftspeople continuing their endless pursuit of perfection in the twenty-first century. -G. Perfect Christmas gift or just KEEP IT! @black_swan_tasmania $105.00 DM to put aside or post. @gestalten #bookshop #coffeeshop #bottleshop #wine #spirits #books #coffee #art #architecture #garden #interiors #music #fashion #photography #design #food #culinary #illustration #fashion #interiors #artisan #bookstore #artbooks #bookstagram #blackswantasmania #derwentvalleytasmania #newnorfolktasmania #independentbookstore #tasmania #japancraft #japan @alexanderokenyo @ Black Swan Tasmania

19.01.2022 Ok, this book, good lord, let me tell you about this book a customer for whom I would search for books to the end of the earth, asked if I could get this book for him: Koji for Life by Nakaji. I blithely said yes then went about tracking it down. Now this is just post covid I might add, so what may have been a challenging hunt became even more wildly circuitous. First I tried my usual Australian suppliers, of which I have many, then my international suppliers, again, I have ...many, nothing. Then I went the internet route of book buying; amazon etc no luck, I went to his website and had to ring my sister @imi_oliver who reads Japanese to get in contact with Nakaji himself, I started reaching out to bookshops in New York and London that specialised in food books, They couldn’t get it either! Almost at the end of my tether but not willing to submit I was almost about to close the shop one day when a lovely group of friends came in and sat down for coffee. As I was sitting, furrowed brow at my computer pointing my google lens translator at my screen in order to open an account with Japanese Amazon my ears pricked up, did I hear some Japanese being spoken?!? And this is when I met the wonderful Yumemi who I promptly enlisted to help me with the Japanese Amazon. After we, or she, found out Japanese Amazon doesn’t seem to ship out of Japan she amazingly offered to get her MOTHER to pick it up for me IN JAPAN! and then send it to me, so I could give it to you dear customer!!!! So, that’s the story. I have since discovered that Yumemi is a rather extraordinary Artist, you can find her work at @yumemihiraki Thank you Yumemi! You are my hero! I bought two extra copies, if anyone wants them you had better let me know soon because I will NOT be ordering anymore! @black_swan_tasmania $38.00 DM to put aside. #fermentation #koji #bookshop #coffeeshop #bottleshop #wine #spirits #books #coffee #art #architecture #garden #interiors #music #fashion #photography #design #food #culinary #illustration #fashion #interiors #artisan #bookstore #artbooks #bookstagram #blackswantasmania #derwentvalleytasmania #newnorfolktasmania #independentbookstore @alexanderokenyo @ Black Swan Tasmania

15.01.2022 It’s my weekend. Ciao! The Venus Rising Syrah is from the Derwent Valley. She's dynamic and vibrant, spicy and peppery with bountiful courage. It’s perfect! @black_swan_tasmania DM to put aside or post.

14.01.2022 @sarahokenyo keeps telling me to remind people of this: GIFT CARDS!!! We send them anywhere and they can be used for anything in the shop: Books, Wine, Coffee, Sweets. A teacher just bought twelve for her staff mates (Christmas solved!) I sent two to the US. People are using them as bribes to get there mainlander friends and family back to tassie. They serve the purpose of that person who is so hard to find a present for () AND they solve the very real convenience amelio...ration issue, which, I’m not sure about you, but has become for me much, much more REAL as December approaches!!! So..... GIFT CARDS!!! I’ll post again regularly as a reminder!

01.01.2022 Thanks to @greeramps for ordering a book and Black Swan ceramic travel cup. Sent to Athens, Georgia USA. Late one night in a video call while trying to organise postage and payment Nick and my conversation (over an hour!) veered pretty quickly into politics and life philosophy, plus I got a little bit of insight into how to put together an amp! Thanks for the conversation Nick, I hope everything’s traveling along well for you and your family, that you now have a little breath...ing space from the contents of the book and that you rock on! I look forward to meeting you in person if you ever make it to our end of this small world!
