I entered a cafe not far from Hatsudai station. This is a somewhat unusual cafe. The interior of the cafe is quiet, and no one is talking. This is because this is a cafe for people who read books, so talking is not allowed. Everyone in the cafe was quietly absorbed in reading with a book open. I took a book from the bookshelf, sat down on the sofa, and started reading just like everyone else. Since this is a cafe for reading, books are lined up on the bookshelves and can be read freely.
As I read quietly, the time passed quietly in tune with my reading. Suddenly, I stopped rolling the pages and looked up, noticing that there were also books displayed on the shelves on the wall. On the cover of a large-format book, a naked woman is posing. It was a collection of photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki. The woman with her hands clasped behind her head was staring at the quiet store without saying a word, oblivious to my gaze.
