日本DIY展

The Japan DIY Industry Association will be hosting “JAPAN DIY HOMECENTER SHOW 2016” at the International Exhibit Hall in Makuhari Messe for period of three days from August 25th (Thu.) through August 27th (Sat.), 2016. The “Japan DIY Homecenter Show”, which will be held this year for the 52nd time (the total number of shows in both East and West Japan) was first held in 1978. It is now one of the largest comprehensive lifestyle-related exhibitions in Japan and aims to help popularize and raise awareness of the sound practice of DIY, cont r ibut ing to the overal l development of the home-improvement center industry and to a richer lifestyle for people l i v ing in Japan through cooperat ion between manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of DIY-related products and materials, bringing together a wide range of products and services under one roof, and leading to the creation of vibrant business opportunities, the exchange of ideas, and improved publicity for the industry vis-à-vis general consumers. Last year, the show was held for the 51st time overall. The 2015 show aimed to take a new step forward, and more than 106,000 visitors (an increase of more than 1000 visitors over 2014) came to visit the 469 exhibitors in 1046 booths. On the third day of the exhibition, we welcomed our six-millionth visitor to a Japan DIY Homecenter Show. We are extremely grateful as this success is the result of understanding and cooperation shown to our association by various related parties including numerous corporations and organizations. In recent years, an increasing number of women are showing a great interest in DIY and handcraft and the scope of the industry is gradually widening due to developments such as the move to accept DIY in apartments rented from the Urban Renaissance Agency. As the industry expands in this way, we are doing all we can on various projects, working to further improve and enhance the content of the show with the aim of attracting around 500 companies and around 120,000 visitors. The theme of this year’s show is “Let’s DIY: The Joy of Creating, The Joy of Improvement”. This slogan expresses our desire for visitors to our show, together with their family and friends, to discover the fun and joy of creating things that can be experienced through DIY as well as the joy we can feel through lifestyle improvements. Our objective is raising interest in DIY, increasing customer footfall at home-improvement centers, and achieving greater vibrancy across the whole industry. As online shopping rapidly becomes more widespread, we aim to provide chances for people to come into contact with products and ideas they cannot see or experience online, building opportunities for communication with various companies inside and outside Japan. At this year’s show, we are going to expand and improve the “Shining DIY Women” section, which aims to support women engaged in DIY. This section of the exhibition, which last year was the focus of media attention and proved extremely popular among exhibition visitors, will provide a range of DIY experiences, showing how women can also enjoy fashionable interior renovations through some simple rearrangements. In recent years, home-improvement centers are also focusing on larger home renovations, and customer demand in this field is growing. This year, as a new event, we are considering the establishment of the themed area “DIY Renovation Square”. This area will focus not only on internal renovations, but also on exterior and gardening, featuring DIY renovation techniques and ideas as well as renovation proposals from building professionals. In addition, as in previous years, we will also conduct the “Japan DIY Product Competition” which will together introduce and exhibit a range of new products, hit products, and environmentally-friendly products from various exhibitors, from which excellent products are selected for awards through an assessment by expert judges and a popularity vote among our visitors. We will also hold “HOMECENTER TRADE
