Tokyo International Mineral Autumn Fair (formerly: IMAGE)

Tokyo International Mineral Autumn Fair (formerly: IMAGE), once thought to be just an offshoot of the internationally established Tokyo International Mineral Fair (TIMA), has in the last few years developed a reputation of its own and is now recognized in the commercial mineral industry as an important annual exhibition and sale of minerals, fossils, meteorites and gems. It seems that Japan has not only met but exceeded its goal to develop a base of mineral enthusiasts. Today Japanese adults and children alike seem to have an interest in all things mineral. TIMA is now and still willing to meet the expectations of mineral fans around the world and hopes to develop more mineral and gem events in Japan in the future.
