At the KYOTOGRAPHIE PHOTOBOOK FAIR, publishers and bookstores from Japan and overseas gather to sell photobooks directly to the public at booths. The purpose of the event is to celebrate the unique appeal and beauty of photobooks and to provide a venue for new encounters with photobooks. You may discover a book that will change your life!
This year, we have expanded the range of participation by also offering smaller booths for individual artists.
