Remembering a downtown bookstore, GinSen (documentary film)

A former co-worker in Fukui-ken has finished most of the video editing for his 1-hour documentary about the downtown bookstore, GinSen.

The documentary is Japanese-language only; at least for now.

Until the Internet and smartphones began filling people's minds after 2000, it was bookstores and their knowledgeable staff who connected people to ideas and to fellow enthusiasts in various hobbies and subjects.

This story is recorded from 2018 until the demolition of the store to make a parking lot in 2019.

There are a few more edits to make, music to add, and so on.

But he has given me permission to share this Youtube link with others.

The documentary style of Frederick Wiseman (no narrator, long segments) is noticeable.
