Antique Booksellers in Tokyo

Jimbôchô - the area where there are dozens of second-hand booksellers.  I was hoping to find some good books on kabuki and nihon buyô but was very dismayed to find my favourite bookstore GONE!!! I thought perhaps I have just been gone to long and getting old...fogotten which direction to go from the station...but no...I think there is a construction site where the shop used to be.  I am hoping it has just moved...and I will find it on a backstreet somewhere.


Another favourite, TakayamaHonten, was still there.  Though couldn't find the book I was looking for.  I'll have to go back!
