Japan’s largest stationary festival Bunshi Messe will take place in Mydome Osaka from August 2-3, 2022.
After a few years of an online format, this year’s edition will take place as a hybrid.
The event will feature approximately 70 Japanese stationery manufacturers showcasing more than 30,000 items of stationery.
At the venue, there will be workshops at each booth, exhibits of unreleased products, product sales corners of exhibiting manufacturers, and an event to experience the Osaka City Fire Department’s earthquake simulation vehicle.
Additionally, an announcement of the Japan Bunshi MESSE Grand Prize will be made as well. Visitors are invited to participate by voting for the year’s best design and functionality from among the new products launched by the exhibiting paper and paperboard manufacturers the year before and after the exhibition.
The event will also include the 5th Stationery Senryu (a Japanese form of short poetry) contest and lectures by stationery experts.
An online platform will be open to the public for two months, from July 1 to August 31, 2022
