"Stopping and Thinking" Book Fair to Be Held at 147 Bookstores Nationwide
The fair is planned in conjunction with TOHAN's corporate message, "THINK SLOW." In an age flooded with information, where daily judgments and values change rapidly, this project provides an opportunity to once again focus on the importance of "stopping and thinking deeply," and will be sequentially rolled out at 147 bookstores nationwide.
'Manga How Do You Live?', selected as one of the featured books, is a manga adaptation of Genzaburo Yoshino's masterpiece 'How Do You Live?'. Since its original publication in 1937, the work has continually posed the fundamental question of "how one should live in society." The manga version delivers this question in a format easily accessible to modern readers, appealing to a wide range of generations from teenagers to adults.
'Manga How Do You Live?' Re-evaluated Amidst the Spread of Inquiry-Based Learning
In recent years, against the backdrop of the spread of inquiry-based learning in school education, the book has also garnered attention as a tool for "posing one's own questions and continuing to think" rather than "memorizing correct answers." As AI and digitalization advance, making it easier to get immediate answers, the importance of thinking for oneself and making judgments is increasing. In such an era, the book's encouragement to readers to "confront questions" aligns with the "THINK SLOW." message.
The fair features 25 selected books chosen by TOHAN employees. A booklet titled 'THINK SLOW. MAGAZINE', introducing the appeal of each book in relation to "THINK SLOW.", has also been produced and distributed at participating bookstores.
'Manga How Do You Live?' continues to be a long-seller that has generated new interpretations in each era since its publication. In an age of information overload and expanding inquiry-based education, the book is once again drawing attention as a work that encourages readers to confront the question of "how to live."
