[Cancelled] Eidantoei presents
The Town Sign Shop ~Be-Pop Sticker Edition~
December 21, 2024 (Sat.)
12:00-19:00

Due to various circumstances, the event has been canceled.
We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the event.
At this time, a replacement date has not yet been decided.
Have you ever seen those blue or yellow directional tapes that have been temporarily plastered on signs at train stations and public facilities?
These are actually large stickers printed with a sign printer called "BePOP."
There's a man who's been so fascinated by BePOP that he's even bought one himself!
BePOP is mainly used at train stations and post offices, but you can also find it on public roads, parking lots, and various other places. Chikaku-san is one of those people who keeps searching for BePOP. He published a zine called "Ekinaka Machinaka BePOP" (BePOP in Stations and Towns), a collection of BePOPs he found in stations and around town, and it's become a popular book at SUT. The zine's cover even has a sticker printed with a BePOP attached, which has piqued the interest of our customers.
So, Chikaku-san has brought his own BePOP and will be opening a "Town Sign Shop" at SUT. This will only be a one-day opening, but SUT is aiming to introduce a special printing machine following the Risograph. First, we'll be holding an event where interested individuals can visit our store, place orders on the spot, and receive their printed messages.
For example, you might have opened a stylish boutique and wished there were signs directing customers to the fitting rooms. Or perhaps you have a shop entrance that isn't automatic, and people are waiting for it to open. Or maybe you need a notice about a change in business hours. Or a temporary closure. Or a reminder to stay hydrated. Or a warning about a rabid dog. Or a "No Soliciting" sign. We'll print any phrase you wish you had printed on the spot and give it to you.
Why not take this opportunity to experience Beepop?

I live near Tokyo. Since 2008, I've been photographing and collecting "stray signs"—station signs that deviate from standard formats. My hobby is creating zines and fanzines featuring these stray signs, as well as other themes. I exhibit at events under the name "Eidantoei." In recent years, I've also been photographing "mats being dried out." I like big rivers and new towns.
