Event Overview
On March 28, 2026, Tachikawa will host the highly anticipated
CREATOR'S BOOK MARKET Vol.02. Organized by
Born Digital, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, this event promises to be a treasure trove for both aspiring and professional creators alike. Whether you’re looking for books on illustration, CG, photography, or design, you’re sure to find something that piques your interest at this unique book fair.
What to Expect
The
CREATOR'S BOOK MARKET will gather a variety of publishers and artists to showcase their works. Following the success of the inaugural event in August 2025, which featured eight exhibitors, this second edition expands to nine exhibitors, offering an even broader selection of books tailored for the creative community. Attendees can look forward to a vast array of literature across six main genres: illustration, CG, animation, games, design, and photography.
In addition to the book sales, the event will feature engaging
talk sessions led by notable creators:
- - Yoshi. will discuss the journey of completing the game IZON in one year.

- - Arumikk will celebrate the release of their art book, Boku to Kimi no Manaka.
- - Takahashi will share insights into low-poly character modeling and the process of creating their book.
These talks are free to attend, but seating is first-come, first-served, so arrive early to secure your spot!
Exciting Activities
But that’s not all! The
CREATOR'S BOOK MARKET will also offer:
- - A big raffle event with chances to win exclusive signed books and creative tools, adding a layer of excitement to the experience. Your admission ticket will double as a raffle entry.
- - A garage sale featuring rare finds and books priced under $10, providing attendees the opportunity to discover hidden gems that might just spark their creativity!
Why Attend?
In today’s digital age, while access to books is easier than ever, the chance to discover specialized publications often remains elusive. The
CREATOR'S BOOK MARKET aims to bridge this gap, providing a space for people to meet publishers, browse through works that aren’t commonly found online or in larger stores, and forge connections within the creative community.
Joining us are renowned companies that participated in the first event, including
Impress,
MDN,
Shoei-sha, and
Hobby Japan, among others. New participants such as
BNN and
Maru Corporation will also be present.
