Alchemised: Helena and Kaine by
from Alchemised by SenLinYu

Last year after one month opened as a brick and mortar bookshop we did our first week long event, Alchemised Week Long party.
It was such an special time, that got us to meet amazing people like Eva.

We’re honoured to have her first printed piece of this work of art with us. It’s a special piece that we adored having at our bookshop.

🥀

This year, we’ll also do a second week long celebration for the Alchemised Deluxe Three piece volume, starting October 13th.
This and other works will be in exhibition 🥹
We’re so excited to meet you all again!

How will it feel to open the first Japanese bookshop in Calgary?
We had a dream when we open the bookshop, and it was to bring titles we love in English and Japanese language.
The joy of seeing this has no words.

Olivie Blake’s Atlas Six and Atlas Paradox in Japanese bunko format, available in store and online.

(Together with more titles that silently been adding 🤭☕️)

A Little Book of Japanese Contentments by Erin Niimi Longhurst

Ella’s Staff pick 🐈📚 (2019)

Do you have a book that is always around you?
For me it’s this little one. It’s one of those books that is not cute per se, but is an analysis of elements in Japanese culture that in many ways can help others.

Richly illustrated, A Little Book of Japanese Contentments is a warm invitation to cultivate contentment in everyday life.

It s a simple and beautiful book that is the one that will start our Staff Picks posts at the bookshop.

As months passed, we’ve been having some of our founders come to little Nekoto Books.
They’ve seen first hand many things… and also are working for the future of this small bookshop.

I’m a bookstore owner and also a binder, lucky enough to have a bindery at home, but as many of you know I haven’t had time to do it as often as I would like, so we decided to make our first Nekoto Workshop for Bookbinding.

We’re extremely proud of everyone that made it into the first group 🥹🖤
You guys are all so kind and we truly hope this workshop brought some of the joy this hobby gives.
As I said before, please feel free to pop by for any questions of your future projects.

Thank you for your time and all your enthusiasm 🐈📚
We’ll announce our late summer and fall bookbinding workshops soon!
