PENTAX Corporation is pleased to announce the opening in April 2007 of PENTAX SQUARE at Shinjuku Center Building in the Nishi-Shinjuku district of Tokyo, Japan. Designed to be a multi-function visual communications space, this new facility will serve as a hub of PENTAX's communications with its camera users and play the role of advancing photographic culture.
The new PENTAX SQUARE will assume a wide range of functions including: the planning, organization and support of photo seminars, photo-shooting trips, photo exhibitions and photo-related events; enhanced customer service and support; and the display of PENTAX photographic products. Through these functions, it will provide photographers of all levels with a comfortable, friendly space and valuable opportunities to experience the fun of picture-taking first-hand and share time and experience with fellow photographers.
In commemoration of this new facility, PENTAX will establish FOCAL, a new photo-culture membership club. PENTAX Forum — the existing galley/showroom/service center located in the same Nishi-Shinjuku neighborhood — and PENTAX Family Secretariat — the photographic club of PENTAX camera users located in Itabashi Ward of Tokyo — will be relocated and integrated into PENTAX SQUARE.
PENTAX SQUARE will commence partial operations in mid April of 2007 with the relocation of PENTAX Forum, with full-scale operations scheduled to begin on June 1, 2007 — the day designated as Photography Day in Japan. |
