Exhibiting at Art Book Osaka 2026! Original bookmarks with special printing for survey participants

Daiko Printing Co., Ltd. will participate as a sponsor and exhibitor at 'Art Book Osaka 2026,' one of the largest art book fairs in the Kansai region, held at Seaside Studio CASO in Osaka on May 30 (Sat) and 31 (Sun), 2026. This event is a creative gathering centered on art books, ZINEs, and independent publishing, bringing together artists, publishers, designers, and photographers from both Japan and abroad. In 2026, over 100 groups from 15 countries and regions, including Europe, Asia, and North/Central America, are scheduled to participate, continuing its growth into an international-scale event.

■ About Sponsorship
Our company provides printing services that transform creative works such as photography, illustrations, and designs into 'tangible forms.' What we have valued is not merely providing printing technology, but being with creators—supporting their expressive activities and becoming a force that helps their works reach the world. Printing artists' works with diverse expressions and transforming creators' thoughts into tangible shapes—that is the core of Daiko Printing's printing technology. Through the technology of printing, we have stood by the side of creators. Engaging with the cultural scene through various forms such as sponsorship, exhibition, and collaboration is how we approach creators and support culture. The spread of 'publishing culture where individuals freely express themselves,' such as ZINEs and art books, is exactly the image of creators we want to walk with, and it resonates deeply with the worldview embodied by 'Art Book Osaka 2026.' Out of empathy for real creative culture through paper, printing, and bookbinding, Daiko Printing has continued to sponsor this event since its inception.

■ Sponsorship Details
Daiko Printing will provide the following printed materials for the 'Art Book Handmade Experience Project' held within the venue of 'Art Book Osaka 2026':
- Printed materials for the handmade experience
- Covers for the handmade art books (original printed items that also serve as admission passes)
We hope that many people will feel the value of printed materials that cannot be obtained through digital means alone—the experience of visitors touching paper, binding it, and taking it home as a book. The art book covers provided this time also serve as admission passes, designed not just as tickets but as 'printed items that can be taken home as a memento of the event.'

■ About the Exhibition
We will set up an exhibition booth within the venue to provide content where visitors can experience the charm of special printing and paper expression.
[Special Printing 'Cold Foil' Exhibition] We will display packages using our special printing technology, 'Cold Foil,' to introduce the diverse expressions created by paper and printing.
[Collaboration Exhibition with TURBO DESIGN] We will hold a collaboration exhibition with TURBO DESIGN, which handles pattern design. You can see printing expressions that stimulate the visual sense by combining special printing and graphic design.
[Visitor Participation Survey Corner] We will conduct a participatory survey using stickers. It is a public project where the interests and concerns of visitors are visualized in real-time. Those who cooperate with the survey will receive an original bookmark with special print processing.
[Original Trading Card Production Service & Board Game Exhibition/Sale] In addition to introducing our original trading card production service, we will also exhibit and sell some board games that have a high affinity with the culture and communication field. We aim to be a booth where you can take home the discovery that 'Paper is so interesting.'
