Expo
Welcome to the Expo at J-TSOON!
The Expo is where you can shop, play, and meet the people who make geek culture what it is. Everything happens in three areas: the Artists’ & Crafters’ Alley, the Flea Market, and the Gaming Zone.
Come looking for a handmade gift, a rare figure for your shelf, or a tournament to test your skills, or just wander and see what you find. Every table and every game is run by people who love what they do, and many of them are local creators and communities.
There’s something here for every visitor, whether you’re a collector, a gamer, or just curious. Take your time, say hello, and enjoy the Expo.
Artists & Crafters Alley
A long-standing J-TSOON tradition and one of the best places at the festival to find something truly one of a kind. Artists and crafters sell their own work: prints, stickers, acrylic keychains, original artwork, handmade toys, resin pieces, and much more. At least 90% of every table is made or designed by the seller, and AI-generated or stolen art is not allowed. When you buy something here, you take home a piece made by a real person and help a small creator keep making.
The Flea Market
The Flea Market gives old treasures a new home. Fans sell their pre-loved manga, figurines, cosplay outfits, wigs, and other merchandise from anime, K-pop, games, comics, and more. It’s a great place to fill a gap in your collection, find something you loved as a kid, or pick up a costume piece for your next cosplay. Have things of your own that deserve a new owner? Apply for a table.
Gaming Zone
Whether you play competitively, casually, or around a table with dice, the Gaming Zone has a place for you. Join fighting game and Super Smash Bros. tournaments, take on Warhammer 40k and Infinity, enter the Miniature Painting Contest, or try a TTRPG one-shot. You can also learn new games such as Flesh and Blood and Karak, play classic PC games from the LAN party days, and try games made by local developers.
Our past partners include Baltic Fighting Game League, Yo Mana, RetroMultiplayer, GameDev Guild, Legend Story Studios, Not Only Dragons, Agapics, and Headless Chicken. These communities know their games and love sharing them with newcomers, so it’s the perfect place to try something new.
