BOOK PARK CLUB/Bookpark Club 2024
Copy the URL
BOOK PARK CLUB is a limited-time event from Hiroshima held for the first time in 2022 with the desire to "create a bookstore that is inspired by unique books" in the center of Hiroshima, where bookstores are decreasing.
More than 3,000 books are rare and stimulating, such as 34 unique small and medium-sized publishers nationwide, 9 independent bookstores inside and outside the prefecture that are gaining popularity in their own style, and the first Little Press in Korea. Will be gathered together.
We will also develop a selection corner where 100 "One Book of Sushi" related to Hiroshima, which was very popular last year, line up. The theme this time is "The book I read with my heart."
Furthermore, the project "ZINE JIN CLUB", which focuses not only on reading and buying but also on "making", will be held for the first time. "ZINE" is a work created because no one asks me to make it but I want to make it myself. A new project that creates and sells such ZINE together with the printing professional group "Insatsubito".
Make a book and don't miss the 18 days you encounter the book!
Period: 18 days from October 4 (Fri) to October 21 (Mon), 2024
10:00～20:30 ※The last day is until 18:00
Venue: Parco Main Building 6F PARCOFACTORY
Admission fee: Free of charge
<Annual Project>
■A large collection of unique publishers (publisheds) with unique books.
■An independent bookstore booth that is gaining popularity with its own style
From used books to new books, to ZINE! Books that guide new discoveries and encounters are lined up!
■"One Book of Sushi" selected by 100 people related to Hiroshima
This year's theme "Books I read in" Body / Heart ""
I wonder if the book is only read in "Atama". I'm terrified. Isn't there a book that I read in "body / heart" other than me, such as the feeling of after reading slowly? This year, I heard not only people related to Hiroshima, but also one of the people who make / deliver books.

「451BOOKS BOOK VAN」
"Traveling Bookstore" 451 BOOKS BOOK VAN is coming to enjoy meeting with books!
Venue: Store Event Space on the 1st floor of Hiroshima PARCO Main Building
In March 2022, a group of friends who love books and bookshops gathered.
We have launched a book project called BOOK PARK CLUB.
Once in Hiroshima Parco
At first glance, there was a bookstore in the ordinary chain, but in the back, there was a "normal" bookstore.
The young people were exposed to and inspired by the existence of many cultures there.
Rather than simply remembering such an old days, he received the context and atmosphere of the time.
I thought, "What kind of bookshops would be interesting in today's era?"
In October 2022, the PARCO Hiroshima store called “BOOK PARK CLUB”.
We held a book event to create a pop-up bookstore.
It was a limited-time event of 17 days.
Many people, far beyond imagination, come in search of books.
There were many voices saying, "I want you to hold it again."
Thanks to you, this is my third year.
I have a fear that I will get bored soon.
They say they're not an event, but a bookstore pop-up.
There is also something like a pop-up pride (Nanda So)
Rather than doing something like a jumper
Do what you have done so far more carefully.
So that it can reach visitors
We deliver books from various angles.
I would like to continue to do that.
This year, too, experiences that go beyond just "buying"
I would be happy if you could enjoy "creating" together.
Let's go with you.
