The Tokyo Big Sight, a nickname for the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, was the sight of last December's Comiket 83. Architecturally the Big Sight sets itself apart from other global facilities with its iconic inverted pyramids.
Comiket, or Comic Market, is the largest self-published comic fair in the world. It takes place 2 times annually in Tokyo, Japan. The self-published comics at Comic Market are considered very rare and valuable since they will typically only be produced once without reprinting. These "one of a kind" comics and their publishers attract attendances in excess of 500,000 people.
