◾️About the Event
KYOTOGRAPHIE PHOTOBOOK FAIR 2026 was first launched in 2021 as part of KG+, a satellite event of KYOTOGRAPHIE. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the inaugural fair welcomed a large number of visitors.

The fair brings together publishers and bookstores from both Japan and abroad to showcase and sell their publications in person, creating a vibrant hub for photobooks right here in Kyoto. Our mission is to directly convey the appeal of photobooks and to foster new encounters between these works and their readers.

[Notice regarding the Second Call for Exhibitors]
Upon a careful review of this year’s venue layout, we are pleased to announce that we have been able to expand the exhibition space beyond our initial plans. In order to welcome a more diverse lineup of participants, we have decided to open a second call for applications.

We look forward to receiving your applications. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
