Over 100 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions will participate. "Art Book Osaka" started in 2024 and is Kansai's largest art book fair. Artists, publishers, bookstores, and galleries gather under one roof, developing into a creative exchange platform centered around art books and zines. From its first edition, it has attracted attention from overseas, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea, and this third year, over 100 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions, including Europe, Asia, and North/Central America, are expected to participate. Art books you won't find in general bookstores. A major feature of the venue is that visitors can pick up books, talk directly with the creators, and purchase them on the spot. Through encounters with unique art books and zines that are rarely found in general bookstores, the event offers new perspectives and inspiration. In addition, various sponsors, including paper professionals such as printing companies, as well as publishers, galleries, and media, will participate in this event. It creates opportunities to experience the unique charm of print media and cutting-edge printing technology. Various experiences await you. Furthermore, in addition to offering limited-quantity mini art book making experiences and talk events for visitors, workshops by exhibitors and sponsoring companies will also be held at each booth. We sincerely look forward to the attendance of many people, as it is a place for expression open to a wide range of professionals and amateurs alike. *"Art book" refers to a "book" that compiles works presented by artists or their explanations into collections or zines. These are genre-less booklets edited by artists themselves, rarely seen in general bookstores. There are no rules regarding shape, size, number of pages, or price; anything bound with free ideas is considered an "art book."
