ILLUSTRATORS EXPO and its partner ILLUST. POSTER EXPO is officially underway in Osaka starting June 18 through June 23, 2025. The event labels illustrators as a key part of Japanese pop culture, highlighting that their work extends well beyond the norm, making them a cornerstone of Japan as a whole. The event will be held at the Hanshin Department Store Umeda Main Store 8F Event Hall.

Featuring over 100 active illustrators, ILLUSTRATORS EXPO aims to highlight creators working across a multitude of media. Simultaneously, ILLUST.
