Today’s weather be like:

Baek Se-hee: South Korean author of I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokbokki dies at 35 South Korean writer Baek Se-hee was known for her 2018 bestselling memoir about her struggle with depression.

Only last month ordered her book and the Dutch translation by Mattho Mandersloot. Such a loss for the world 😢.

Hey hey, free drinks at #Wakuli Leiden today!

It’s #InternationalMentalHealthDay.
Meanwhile, Takaichi says we should “abandon work-life balance and just work, work, work.”

Hard pass. I’ll be over here doing something radical - like wrapping up on time to pick my son up from school and go to the park together.

“Ok junior, you tell daddy you don’t want to live with him anymore”

I dunno, these two guys carrying her look like they know what is going on but are wise enough to stfu on the job.

This book has had a rough life considering the condition it is in. But so glad this beautiful original sleeve was saved alongside it.

Use of mica (?) to emulate what looks like fireworks. Gorgeous 😍

Pink usually fades real fast under the influence of light. Wonderfully preserved, these colours.

I think I’ll spam some more of these 😍

Rush hour 🚦

Teeny tiny study notes

See this type of note in any of our Rare Japanese books? Then you know it is something Siebold claimed as his own. Whether he actually received it in Japan or “borrowed” permanently from someone remains unclear to this day.

Love the print on this book. Can someone make that into a phone case?

Our Hokusai original, and with the proper sleeve still with it. Last time I saw this one live was when it was on loan in the British Museum.

❤️ I miss Japan every time I see an image of Mt. Fuji, and I’ve never even BEEN on that thing 🗻

Checking some requested items for upcoming lectures at the Department of Japanese studies. Birdseye view maps from Miyako (Kyoto) to Edo (Tokyo)

Well you KNOW it’s good when the connoisseur concurs 😍

I’m a fan of this fan 🪭 Isn’t it FANtastic?

No, I’m not bored waiting for my laptop to update….

New book on #Siebold by Arlette Kouwenhoven. Can’t even count the many times I saw her in the library consulting sources for this monumental work.
