About the "Craft Press Gathering! ZINE Fair Born from Fujiwara Printing"
This is a bookstore fair selling "Craft Press" produced by Fujiwara Printing, located in Nagano Prefecture. Craft Press is a concept advocated by Fujiwara Printing, generally referred to as "ZINE," which encompasses a wide variety of publications freely issued by individuals, small groups, or companies. In recent years, large-scale events like ZINE exhibitions and sales have been held, drawing increasing attention.
This fair features unique works, including essays, non-fiction, photo collections, and cultural magazines, with meticulous attention paid not only to content but also to paper color and type, binding, and design. As production quantities are limited, the fair aims to introduce ZINEs, which are rarely found in bookstores, and to convey the "joy of creating books."
Background of the Fair's Organization
This project was born from communication among three parties: Fujiwara Printing, which wants to make book creation more accessible; Toppan, which wants to increase touchpoints between books and readers; and Rights Co., Ltd., which published a book summarizing Fujiwara Printing's activities.
Sharing the sentiment that "if more people create books, more people will read them," the fair also serves as a model development and experimental project for the bookstore sales of ZINEs.
Following this fair, there are plans to continue holding Craft Press fairs on a regular basis.
