Tickets start from 500 yen. On the 5th, workshops will be held where participants can try collotype printing under the guidance of technicians from Benrido, a long-established Kyoto fine art printing company. On the 6th, there will be a "Platin Print Workshop" where participants can experience creating their own original prints, and a "Gelatin Silver Print Workshop" launched by a photography production company that produces prints for Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyama. Also, as a related event during the fair, a "Pop-Up Bookstore STEIDL+MACK" will open in the venue's "Gallery ON THE HILL." Since its founding in 1967, Steidl is a German publishing house that has captivated photography fans worldwide with its in-house projects, from planning to printing, binding, and publishing. Meanwhile, in 2010, Michael Mack, Steidl's former director of photobooks for 20 years, founded the UK publishing company MACK.

This project is a joint project between POST (in charge of Steidl) and twelvebooks (in charge of Mac), official partners entrusted with the distribution and planning of publications by both publishers in Japan. The store is a condensed version of the worldview of these internationally acclaimed publishers.

The reception held on the 3rd was attended by many artists, journalists, and other people in the art world.
