Several artists sold out in the one time only ‘free market’ section. Here, Yoshitomo Nara pauses for photos with visitors.。

At the Takashi Murakami booth, however, attention went to the painters hard at work.

Mr. Mizuma from Mizuma Art Gallery appeared and behind him Makoto Aida, who had a booth of his own.

The exhibitors seem to have embraced the sale of their artworks. This sort of scene could be found throughout the fair.

We saw a great increase in the number of booths offering charicatures but this one by “Iyana Nigaoe” was quite different.

While many of the booths were quite radical, subtler items like these lamps also received a lot of attention.

You could also catch people’s attention with hand made walls like this. The exhibitors were quickly adjusting to life at GEISAI.

These original flower lamps decorated one side of the stage-side tower.

Yoshitomo Nara and Takashi Murakami met up for the first time in a year. To commemorate a DVD release, they held a live talk together.

More than seven hundred people gathered for the talk, meaning huge crowds in front of the stage.

A drawing for bottles of wine, held after the live talk. They were autographed by both Nara and Murakami.
