The 3rd Nagoya Station West Literary Market

A gathering for readings of Yodaka Some's original poems and conversation.

This is a tanka gathering hosted by tanka poet Miyako Asai. Beginners and those who have not yet started writing tanka are welcome to participate. If you will participate, please compose one tanka and send it by email to [email protected] by September 18. The theme is free. Also, drinks will not be sold on the day, so please feel free to bring your own beverages.

It had been scheduled for June, but due to a typhoon it has been rescheduled to Saturday, September 26 at 14:00. Those who applied in June, please apply again. Also, the second session has been set for Saturday, November 28 at 14:00, and an event page has been created, so please check that information and apply. For this first session, the talk will cover Nagoya's yūkaku from the Keichō era through the Meiji period. The lecturers will be members of the Tokai Yūri History Research Group.

Journalist Shinichi Ikeo, an editorial board member of the Chunichi Shimbun (Tokyo bureau), will be invited to commemorate the publication of his latest book, 'Children on Provisional Release: Targets of Japan First'. Through his reporting on children and their families who, despite being born and raised in Japan, are not permitted by national and local governments to live in Japan because they lack residence status—and therefore cannot envision future dreams—we will hear in detail about the realities and problems of Japan's immigration policies.

Circle participation (one table) ¥2500 An event for showing off and selling each person's original works. I don't expect this to be a profitable event. Be kind to one another. We're all different and all wonderful! It is primarily intended for doujinshi and zines, but goods are also allowed. Novels, essays, poetry collections, comics, or illustrations with commentary are all welcome. Commercially distributed books may be brought as well, but please obtain permission from publishers yourself. This event starts with participants arranging tables and chairs along the walls themselves and ends with returning the room to its original conference layout. It is not a fully prepared event where the venue is set up in advance. Please be aware of this. One table equals one booth. Up to three chairs may be used. You may split one booth among multiple people. Adult content is allowed as long as there are no explicit sexual expressions on the cover. If you're concerned, please get in touch. The location is Small Meeting Room 1004 at Winc Aichi. It is accessible from Nagoya Station via an underground passage. Please note there is one set of stairs on the underground route. There are only five slots for courier delivery, so please plan on carrying items in by hand. Outbound shipments can be sent from the baggage office on the 18th floor. See the PDF below for details. https://www.winc-aichi.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/tenimotsuazukari.pdf
