Hajimete-zukuri Market
Sunday, June 28, 2026 11:00〜16:00An event where you can enjoy and purchase handmade books (ZINE), illustration/photo books, and handmade items from 50 exhibitors on the spot. In recent years, watching the news and social media has increasingly left people feeling down. Precisely because of times like these, there is great meaning in not just receiving information but in creating something new, appreciating the works that are born, and enjoying them. Also, I think places full of the feeling "I love this!" are wonderful. We've prepared that kind of happiness you can experience at the venue. Please come and visit us! -

＼Savoring／ ZINE Appreciation Gathering
Wednesday, March 25, 2026 11:00〜13:00If you spot something that catches your eye, you'll want to savor it. That's all — a relaxed get-together. "I wonder what kind of ZINEs people read?" "I want to know ZINEs I haven't discovered yet." That curiosity popped up, and so... This is a gathering to simply adore ZINEs: the fleeting thrills you might never encounter again, impulsive ZINE purchases at events, or those that touched your "heartstrings." 1st dish "Admire your favorite ZINE" It's nice to read alone, but when you think "I want to share this with others!", please tell us what you love about that work or ZINE. How you found it How it felt to read it The world of deeply personal ZINEs — even if you don't know much about ZINEs or have never bought one, if you like reading books, you're welcome! If you're interested in making ZINEs, this could be a chance to learn what perspectives others use when creating them and how readers receive them. There are lots of ZINEs available to browse inside Kotokoto Shoten (provisional). After lightly admiring ZINEs... 2nd dish "Savoring deliciously" Have a hamburger lunch at "Oga-ya", next door to Kotokoto Shoten (provisional), and chat about ZINEs, books, or anything at all! (That said, the hamburger is by no means the main event!)

Zindies Opening Event@Tokyo
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 19:00〜21:00Zindies is a service that connects creators, delivery people, and enthusiasts around ZINEs as works, creating a world where many new works are born. https://zindies.co/ It is a service we have been developing since 2025, and it has finally reached a point of release. We will hold opening events in Kyoto, Nagoya, Tokyo, and online, and this time, it's the 'Tokyo edition'. Zindies users are diverse, including 'creators', 'readers', and 'people who want to create ZINEs', but in the Tokyo edition, we'd like to consider the future of ZINEs, focusing on those who operate hubs for ZINEs, such as 'bookstores' and 'co-working spaces'. While we will explain the service, more important are the voices of those who run each place. Therefore, we are inviting Masayuki Waikei, who is extremely knowledgeable about independent bookstores in Japan, and Tomoo Ito, chairman of the Co-working Cooperative, to a talk session on the theme 'How to Create a World Where ZINEs Are Everywhere'. Furthermore, we will hold a 'ZINE Fair', a real-life event that reproduces ZIndies' concept of connecting ZINE creators and stores. In this case, 'stores' include not only bookstores and co-working spaces but anywhere interested in ZINEs and would like to display them. ZINE creators are welcome to bring samples. Approximate timetable: 19:00-19:10: Explanation of Zindies' service concept and overview (Development: Chikura) 19:10-19:45: Talk session 'How to Create a World Where ZINEs Are Everywhere' (Masayuki Waikei & Tomoo Ito) 19:45-19:50: (Break) 19:50-21:00: Real Zindies 'ZINE Fair β Version' (in a social gathering format, allowing interactions between stores and ZINE creators) We hope the following people will join us: * Store operators (not only bookstores and co-working spaces; anyone interested in or considering displaying ZINEs is welcome) * ZINE creators * Those interested in the ZINE movement This time, we are borrowing the lounge from Heartbeats, located in Shinjuku Gyoenmae, for this event. Heartbeats is a company engaged in maintenance and operation of internet services, and after we talked about the concept of Zindies, they kindly offered the venue with their support. Sharing on X, Instagram, note, etc., using the hashtag #zindies is very welcome before, during, and after the event. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse participation to any individuals engaged in multi-level marketing solicitation or other business purposes deemed incompatible with the event's objectives by the organizers. -
