“Time flows and flows, constantly. It never stops, not even for a second. Sometimes we may think back ‘I should have done this, I should have done that...’ And it is those regrets, those reflections, that we move forward...” ⛩ “It’s because we last only for a blink that our lives matter so much.” ⛩ I’m reading The Bells of Old Tokyo, Travels in Japanese Time by Anna Sherman. The quotes are from a priest called Nakayama. Aren’t they amazing? This book is part personal memoir, part cultural history and the prose is heavenly. We follow Sherman in Tokyo, exploring the city and its voices, history, time and people. This has quickly became one of these books that I’ll cherish forever. ♥️ . 🇹🇷 Tokyo üzerine yazılmış enfes bir kitap okuyorum bu aralar. Yazar o kadar iyi bir kitap yazmış ki kendimi bahsettiği kahvecide hayal kurarken buluyorum derken metroda kayboluyorum. Sonra şehrin farklı bir köşesinde küçük bir bahçede dinleniyorum. Kitaplığımda hep saklayacağım kitaplar arasına girdi hemen. ♥️ . 🌼 SORU: Siz neler okuyorsunuz? Okuduğunuz kitabın geçtiği yere ışınlansanız nerede olurdunuz? 🙃 . . . . #thebellsofoldtokyo #annasherman #tokyo #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #diversebooks #diversereads #japaneseculture #japonkültürü #japonya #kurgudışı #okumahalleri #booksbooksbooks #kitap #kitapkurdu #readtolearn #lovebooks #bookish #bookaddicts #東京 #🇯🇵 #readaroundtheworld #readtheworld #okumaaşkı #booklr (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxc1Fe4JGW1/?igshid=yq0i0k7lbr3q
