A book is like a friend. We understand the world and life, or even observe ourselves through texts, and have a deep realization of oneself that we are not alone. PMQ invites different people from design and culture sectors to recommend a book, so that you can enrich yourselves as book therapy.
Why would you recommend this book?
Keith Chun: What kind of takoyaki do you like? Is it takoyaki covered with sauce? Or takoyaki that has been fully grilled inside and out?
The owner of a takoyaki shop forgot to put the octopus in the Takosaburo. Takosaburo knew that he was different and he thought no customer would want a takoyaki without octopus. Until he met a child who lost his front tooth, the child said, "Please give me the takoyaki without octopus in it."

This story is down to earth, reader-friendly and interesting. You will be touched by such a simple storyline. Sometimes the inspiration for creation cannot be pursued, it’s just around the corner.
