Embrace the New Season with 'SPRING SWING 2026' at Tsutaya Bookstore

As spring approaches, the anticipation of new beginnings fills the air, often accompanied by a mix of excitement and uncertainty. From March 20th, 2026, until April 7th, 2026, several locations of Tsutaya Bookstore in Tokyo will host the 'SPRING SWING 2026' event, themed 'Choosing the Light in Spring'. This all-encompassing fair is designed for visitors to take a moment to unwind, reflect on themselves, and discover their unique 'light' amidst the season's changes.

This year, Tsutaya’s offers include a curated selection of products centered around beauty, wellness, art, and lifestyle—essentially creating a serene and enriching environment to welcome the new season. The key visuals for this event have been crafted by the talented graphic designer, Asuka Iida, who has been responsible for the fair’s visual identity for four consecutive years since it began at Daikanyama Tsutaya Bookstore in 2023.

Special Offerings from Asuka Iida

In collaboration with the event, Asuka's books and merchandise will be available at the four participating locations: Daikanyama, Nakameguro, Roppongi, and Futako-Tamagawa. Her impressive portfolio includes fascinating work with various brands like PARCO, LUMINE, and HARUTA, alongside special projects such as the 50th anniversary poster for 'Doraemon'.
