Stationery Tsubaki

Hatoko is twenty-five. She writes letters. On different paper, with pencils and pens, quills and brushes. Seals them in envelopes and sends them to the recipients. In these letters are many destinies, many lives, and even what lies behind them.... Above them. And all her life.
After all, Hatoko is a yuhitsu, the last of her kind. She, who writes different letters in different handwriting at the request of different people for different occasions.
"Stationery Tsubaki" is a kind of requiem for handwritten text. The success of this book in Japan is also explained by the fact that Ito Ogawa touched on a very delicate topic for her compatriots with her book. About how important it is — against the backdrop of universal mechanization, computerization, universalization, and so on — to preserve in words the warmth of human breath, and in letters — the warmth of a human hand.
