This exhibition, sponsored by the Printers Association of Japan, introduced cutting-edge developments in printing equipment, as well as advancements in printing techniques. It was held across a variety of venues in central Hiroshima, including the Hiroshima Prefectural Sports Center, Chugoku Shimbun Office Building, Peace Memorial Hall, and Hiroshima Municipal Auditorium.
