This is the third Interop held in Japan. The 6th Interop was held in Kyoto and hosted by Screen. The 10th one was held in Shinjuku, Tokyo by Fuji Film. And this time, the 15th one was held in Yaesu, Tokyo by Komori. Meeting place is just above the Takaracho metro station and just 10 minutes walk from Tokyo station. Just 3 stops by subway from CIP4 hotel in Shiodome area. That place is very close to Ginza, Kyobashi and Nihombashi business area.
Komori was the host of this Tokyo Interop and took care about hotels, meeting rooms, AV and network devices, caterings, advertisement for Tutrial and Developer Meeting, and Reception Party Event. Komori sent three engineers and one marketing rep. to this Interop and additional two ladies assisted the party. For this event, we expressed appreciation for the Japanese CIP4 members such as Printechno, Olive, Metatechno, JAGAT, etc. for their assistance.

After Japan Technical WG meeting, many members got on the bus to join to the KOMORI Reception party. That party was held at Head Quarters of Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. In Koishikawa, Tokyo.
At first, everyone went downstairs to first basement floor to observe the Printing Museum. Like the printing industry people that they were, everyone took long time to watch many historical printed matters and printing related items in the limited time. They enjoyed much at there.
