Comic Market - Japan's Largest Doujinshi Convention

Comic Market (commonly known as Comiket) is Japan's largest doujinshi convention and cultural event that has been running since 1975, held twice a year in summer and winter at Tokyo Big Sight. Operated under the principle that "everyone is a participant," this participant-driven, non-profit convention distributes a diverse array of self-published works including manga and anime fan fiction, novels, critiques, music, games, photo books, and goods. With tens of thousands of participating circles and over 200,000 visitors, it has grown to a massive scale where fans can purchase works directly from creators, making it a treasured opportunity that continues to be beloved. One of the major attractions is the vibrant costume displays and interactions by cosplayers, and it has become an international event where fans gather from over 70 countries and regions worldwide. As the holy land of doujinshi culture, visitors can experience a free venue for creative expression and the passionate community that supports it, making it a uniquely Japanese cultural event unlike any other.
