The immense and futuristic Tokyo Big Sight is the chosen venue for major comics events such as Comiket and Comitia.

While much smaller than the much more infamous Comic Market (a.k.a. Comiket), Comitia celebrates original comics creations, handmade books and even crafts made by individual artists and aspiring manga-ka working in "circles" or informal groups.
