'Shigekinsai 2026': A Cultural Festival in Historical Miyajima
Miyajima, known as one of Japan's premier tourist spots, attracts over 4 million visitors annually. On August 29-30, 2026, a remarkable new event called 'Shigekinsai 2026 - Miyajima Daisho-in IP Co-Creation Event 2026' will take place at Daisho-in, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Organized by Black Clover Co., Ltd., located in Shibuya, Tokyo, this event aims to connect creators, fans, and the local community through a vibrant festival atmosphere.
Event Overview
At this exciting event, 15 talented creators will showcase and sell their unique works including illustrations, paintings, apparel, crafts, accessories, and artistic pieces. Notably, the event coincides with the launch of Black Clover's innovative online trading platform, 'Origami,' designed specifically for intellectual property exchange, making it a dual celebration of creativity and commerce.
The name 'Shigekinsai' combines the concepts of 'stimulation' and 'festival,' as well as the Hiroshima dialect phrase 'konsai,' which invites people to join in. Here, 'stimulation' refers to the invigorating experiences and artworks encountered throughout the event space.
Supporting Local Culture and Innovation
Black Clover has been committed to fostering a culture where IP (intellectual property) thrives since 2024, hosting offline events, radio programs, and café initiatives. The decision to launch this notable event at the culturally rich Daisho-in stems from the deep local connections of the organizing team, who visited the temple at the inception of their IP endeavor.
