The Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) will be holding the comprehensive camera and imaging show "CP+ 2018" at Pacifico Yokohama and Osanbashi Hall from March 1st to 4th. This year's notable new project is a special event called "Photo Weekend" that will be held from March 2nd to 3rd, targeting mainly young women. The event is titled "Photo Weekend: Be yourself with your photos and cameras! Two days to find tips for having fun! Travel, music, fashion... Everything you love is photogenic."


Miniature photographer Tatsuya Tanaka, whose uniquely-captured photographs, "MINIATURE CALENDAR," have become popular online and were featured in the title sequence of last year's NHK morning drama "Hiyokko," will be showcasing his unique miniature worlds created using everyday objects in the special exhibition "MINIATURE LIFE CAFE LOUNGE." In cooperation with the Yokohama Grand InterContinental Hotel, a limited-time offer of 20 original sweets per day will be available.
