ABOUT YOU

Products must be Japanese or Japanese-style. There is no requirement that the articles actually be “Made in Japan.” The Commercial Vendors will be divided into two areas at the Matsuri depending on the types of merchandise:

o Ginza Marketplace – will focus on more traditional Japanese products and items
o Japan Now – featuring modern and more youthful Japanese products

JASWDC will make the determination in what area your tent will be placed

Please fill in all the fields below, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can with any questions about your application.  Once we have accepted you as a vendor, we'll issue a payment invoice for your fees.
