Held for the first time in two years、TOTEM POLE PHOTO GALLERYIt will be the first time in four years to participate asTOKYO ART BOOK FAIR。The number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Japan continues to increase even after this year's event is decided.、8More than 5,000 people are infected daily in Tokyo in a month。At one point the event was in jeopardy、Fortunately, the number of infected people has been declining since summer.、It was sunny and safe。I like art in Tokyo、I think it was a long-awaited event for those who like art books.。Of course, the exhibitors have the same feelings.。Exhibitor quota is half of the average year as an infection control measure this year、The number of visitors was limited to about 1000 per day, and reservations were required (By the way, it seems that the number of visitors in 2019 was 35,000.、1/10(Around the number of visitors)。Well、Because it is held on a reduced scale like that、We don't really count on sales、I participated with the intention of fully enjoying the atmosphere of the book fair after a long absence。There were many times when the number of people decreased due to the complete replacement system each time.、I think the time limit of 2 hours and 15 minutes each time was short for the visitors.。Even so, the volunteer members of TPPG actively serve customers.、I was in good communication with the visitors who came to the booth.。Partly because of the results、Although it was only a little short when I participated last time、There was sales that could be said to be a good fight under the conditions of this event.。And above all、With people I met at past fairs、I'm glad I was able to meet again here。With the organizer who took perfect infection control measures and managed to hold the event、Thank you for visiting and purchasing.。
