Tsundoku, the act of acquiring books without reading them, is viewed positively in Japan, emphasizing the joy of collection and the pursuit of knowledge over guilt.
Though it may invoke guilt for some, Tsundoku encourages a passion for reading and learning, as it reflects a deep desire to engage with literature.
As Nassim Taleb notes in 'The Black Swan', having unread books is beneficial, reminding us of our knowledge gaps and inspiring a greater quest for understanding.
Tsundoku allows collectors to find joy in the mere ownership of books, intertwining personal fulfillment with the excitement of rare edition discoveries.
