Creative Show-and-Tell
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 -
