10 Things People Involved with Books Should Consider in a World Where 90% Don’t Read Many Books
19:00–20:30Isn't today's publishing world becoming a kind of “print macho”? Reading only in printed characters—difficult words and kanji—is not the only form of reading. By expanding ways of reading beyond the conventional frame of “reading”—comics, graphic works, audiobooks, etc.—we can lower the barriers to reading and increase readership. We will hold a talk and signing event to celebrate the publication of publishing journalist Kazufumi Iida's latest book, "An Introduction to 'Yuru Reading' for 90% of Japanese."16 participants -

Children Deprived of the Right to Dream — Talk Event Commemorating the Publication of 'Children on Provisional Release: Targets of Japan First'
18:30–20:00Journalist 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'.
