We exhibit at Mori, Michi, Ichiba every year. Just as we were feeling the cycle of the year this autumn—having given it our all in May, burned out, managed to recover, and started thinking about next year—we received an offer: "We're taking a traveling version of Mori, Michi to Osaka, so we want Circles to be part of the select group of vendors." Is this the Koshien of markets?
This traveling edition of Mori, Michi will be held at "KITAKAGAYA FLEA 2025 Autumn & ASIA BOOK MARKET", hosted at the renovated former Namura Shipyard, now the Creative Center Osaka (CCO). It is organized by "IN/SECT", a small Osaka-based publisher that produces incredibly interesting and stylish magazines and books.
A combination of Mori, Michi—which gathers small, free-spirited, and high-quality local merchants—and the publisher weaving them together in Osaka... it’s bound to be amazing. It looks like it’s going to be a large-scale cultural festival!
So, Circles will be heading to Osaka with our cargo bikes and a selection of bicycle-related books and goods! Notably, this will be the first-ever release in Japan for a Zine published by SimWorks.
BIKE to Mori, Michi, Ichiba Kansai!
Of course, our bicycle parking service, "Cycle Cloak," has also established a Kansai branch with the help of Soukawa Garage, so we will be operating it together! It’s "BIKE to Mori, Michi, Ichiba Kansai!" (The staffed bike parking service will only operate on the 2nd and 3rd [Sun/Mon].)

Naturally, Mori, Michi, Ichiba is famous for its delicious food vendors. We'll be bringing our own, and many great food spots from Osaka will be gathering as well—that alone is something to look forward to.
Let's ride our bikes and work up an appetite!
