-As a sister event to the "Futako Tamagawa Book Fair" held in 2020, bookstores and stationery stores from all over the country will gather together.

Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Head office: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Yasunori Takahashi; hereinafter "CCC") has formed an executive committee with Tokyo Legacy Parks Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "TLP"), the management consortium for Meiji Park, whose members include Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd., Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Nippon Koei Urban Space Co., Ltd., Seibu Landscape Co., Ltd., Yomiko Advertising Inc., and NTV AXON Inc., to hold a new large-scale market event called "Yomi no Ichi" (Reading Market) from February 21st (Sat) to 23rd (Mon, national holiday), 2026, to promote the appeal of reading and writing.

"Yomi no Ichi" was planned as a sister event to "Futako Tamagawa Book Fair," which was held in 2020 and attracted approximately 30,000 people. We will redefine the cultural activities of "reading" and "writing" as well-being experiences, and create a new space and experience where bookstores, stationery stores, and other businesses can come together.

Yomi no Ichi is planned and managed by CCC's newly established Experience Design Headquarters, and is part of an initiative aimed at creating customer experience value centered on lifestyle. CCC aims to propose future lifestyles through experience design that connects culture, lifestyles, and communities.
