The theme for MONO JAPAN 2026:
Until We Meet Again
MONO JAPAN 10周年、そして新たな一歩へ
2016年2月に第一回目のMONO JAPAN展示・即売会がアムステルダムで開催されてから、次回のMONO JAPANでちょうど10年を迎えます。
これまでの10年間で、MONO JAPANは数多くの魅力的な日本のブランドやメーカーの皆様を、オランダやヨーロッパの皆さんにご紹介してまいりました。また、現地でクラフトやデザインに関わるワークショップを行う方々、飲食を通して日本文化を伝える方々にもご参加いただき、毎年多くの熱意ある来場者に恵まれてきました。
こうした出会いから生まれたビジネスや友情、コラボレーションは、MONO JAPANの活動を豊かに彩ってくれました。
この10年という節目をもって、2026年1月に開催するMONO JAPAN展示・即売会を、一年に一回開催という現行の形における最後の開催とさせていただくことになりました。
これまでご来場くださった皆さま、ご後援くださった皆さま、そして日本からご参加いただいた皆さまに、心より感謝申し上げます。長年にわたるご愛顧と温かい応援、本当にありがとうございました。
展示というスタイルは一旦幕を閉じますが、MONO JAPANの根幹にある「文化をつなぐ」という思想は、これからもかたちを変えながら受け継がれていきます。この節目を新たなジャーニーの始まりとし、次なる挑戦へと歩みを進めてまいります。
1月のMONO JAPANでは、10年の集大成にふさわしい、華やかで充実した内容をお届けします。これまで支えてくださった皆さまとともに、10年間の歩みを分かち合い、新たな一歩を踏み出す特別な時間を過ごせることを楽しみにしています。
ぜひご期待ください。
Celebrating 10 Years of MONO JAPAN
—and a New Beginning
Since the very first MONO JAPAN Fair held in Amsterdam in February 2016, the upcoming MONO JAPAN 2026 will mark our 10th anniversary.
Over the past decade, MONO JAPAN has introduced many remarkable Japanese brands and makers to audiences in the Netherlands and across Europe. Alongside them, we have welcomed creators who share Japanese craft and design through workshops, those who express Japanese culture through food and drink, and countless visitors who share our passion.
The businesses, friendships, and collaborations born from these encounters have truly enriched MONO JAPAN’s journey.
With this 10-year milestone, the MONO JAPAN Fair to be held in January 2026 will be the final edition in its annual format.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has visited, supported, and participated from Europe, Japan and beyond. Thank you sincerely for your continued encouragement and warm support over the years.
While the exhibition format will draw to a close for now, the spirit at the heart of MONO JAPAN — to connect cultures — will live on in new forms. We see this milestone not as an ending, but as the beginning of a new chapter toward our next challenge.
In January, MONO JAPAN will present a special programme befitting of this 10-year culmination, as a moment to celebrate, give thanks, and take the first step into our new chapter, together.
Stay tuned for what’s to come.
