BOOK PARK CLUB / Book Park Club 2024
Copi the URL
Book PARK CLUB is a limited-time event from Hiroshima that was 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.
3,000 rare and stimulating books that are hard to meet in Hiroshima Prefecture, such as 34 unique small and medium-sized publishers nationwide, 9 independent bookstores inside and outside the prefecture, which are gaining popularity in their own style, and the first Korea Little Press, etc. Books are gathered.
We will also develop a selection corner where 100 people related to Hiroshima, which was very popular last year, are lined up. The theme this time is "The book I read in my heart."
"ZINE JIN CLUB", which focuses not only on reading and buying but also "making" will be held for the first time. "ZINE" is a product made because nobody asks, but I want to make it myself. This is a new project to create and sell such ZINE together with the printing professional group "Insatsubit".
Make a book and don't miss 18 days when you make a book!
Duration: October 4 (Fri) to October 21 (Mon), 2024 18 days
10:00～20:30 ※The last day is until 18:00
Venue: Hiroshima Parco Main Building 6F Parco FACTORY
Entrance fee: Free
<Annual Project>
■A large collection of unique publishers (publishers) with unique books.
■An independent bookstore booth that is popular with its own style.
From used books to new books, even ZINE! There are many books that will guide you to new discoveries and encounters!
■"One book of recommended" selected by 100 people related to Hiroshima
This year's theme, "The Book I read in" Body and Heart ""
I wonder if the book should be read with "head"? I've got it. Is there a book that I read with "body / heart" other than the head, such as a feeling of after reading in the body slowly? This year, I listened not only to people related to Hiroshima, but also one book recommended by those who make / deliver books.
<New Project>
■ZINE JIN CLUB, a project to make Insatsubit x BPC ZINE Project
We sell a variety of ZINEs, such as ZINE produced at "ZINE JIN CLUB"!
■POP UP Korea ~ The Little Press World in Korea ~
We sell unique and wide variety of Little Press, which is a bit different from the Japan Little Press in the neighboring country, Korea. There is also a talk event by a Korean independent publisher!

「451BOOKS BOOK VAN」
Enjoy meeting with books "Traveling Bookstore" 451BOOKS BOOK VAN is coming!
Venue: Hiroshima PARCO Main Building 1F Store Event Space
In March 2022, friends who love books and bookstores gathered together.
We launched a book project named BOOK PARK CLUB.
Once in Hiroshima Parco
At first glance, it was a normal chain bookstore, but when I went back there was a "unusual" bookstore.
Young people were touched and stimulated by the presence of many cultures there.
Rather than simply reminiscing such old days, it is based on the context and air of the time.
I thought, "What kind of bookstore would it be interesting to have today?"
In October 2022, the PARCO Hiroshima store was called “BOOK CLUB” in the PARCO Hiroshima store.
We held a book event to create a pop-up book shop.
It was a limited time event of 17 days.
Many people who are far beyond imagination came to see us in search of books.
We also received many voices saying, "I want you to hold it again."
Thanks to you, this year is my third year.
I'm afraid that I'll get tired soon.
It is not an event, but a pop-up of a bookshop.
There is also something like the pride of pop-ups.
Rather than doing something like a jumper.
Do what I've done so far more carefully.
So that it reaches visitors
Deliver books from various angles.
I would like to continue to do that.
This year's experience is not limited to "buying" and "buying"
I would be happy if you could enjoy "making" together.
Please come with me.
