Dōjin shop
A is a store that specializes in dōjinshi, self-published works. They exist mainly in Japan. Dōjin shops can be both brick and mortar as well as online stores.〔Kabashima, Eiichirō 樺島榮一郎. 2009. "Kojin Seisaku Kontentsu No Kōryū to Kontentsu Sangyō No Shinka Riron 個人制作コンテンツの興隆とコンテンツ産業の進化理論." Jōhō Gaku Kenkyū: Gakkan: Tōkyō Daigaku Daigakuin Jōhō Gakkan Kiyō 情報学研究: 学環: 東京大学大学院情報学環紀要 77: 17–41. http://130.69.198.194/pdf/bl/77/77_03.pdf. P20.〕 Some sell only second-hand dōjinshi, but particularly larger chain stores also sell new dōjinshi. Many dōjin shops also handle other kinds of dōjin works, such as dōjin music or dōjin games,〔Lam, Fan-Yi. 2010. "Comic Market: How the World's Biggest Amateur Comic Fair Shaped Japanese Dōjinshi Culture." Mechademia 5: 232–48. http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/mechademia/v005/5.lam.html. P242.〕 or commercially published popular media such as manga and anime.
==Summary==
Dōjin shops are either independent or part of a larger dōjin shop chain. Dōjin shop chain outlets can be found in many large cities in Japan. They often cluster together in areas that are seen as gathering places for pop culture fans, such as Tokyo's Akihabara and Ikebukuro neighborhoods, or the Nipponbashi area of Osaka. Outlets can be very large and often have multiple floors dedicated to dōjinshi for different audiences, or to new and second-hand dōjinshi.
Together with dōjinshi conventions, dōjin shops are the main distribution outlets for dōjinshi. 〔Leavitt, Alex, and Andrea Horbinski. 2012. "Even a Monkey Can Understand Fan Activism: Political Speech, Artistic Expression, and a Public of the Japanese Dojin Community." Transformative Works and Cultures 10. doi:10.3983/twc.2012.0321. http://dx.doi.org/10.3983/twc.2012.0321.〕 Dōjin shops fill a need that dōjinshi conventions cannot meet: making dōjinshi accessible to buyers who, for whatever reason, cannot attend conventions. While some regular bookstores very occasionally carry some dōjinshi, dōjinshi are usually excluded from regular book distribution channels. This is partly because they are per definition self-published, but also because most dōjinshi are fanworks, meaning that they exist in a legal gray area of Japanese copyright law.〔Mehra, Salil. 2002. "Copyright and Comics in Japan: Does Law Explain Why All the Cartoons My Kid Watches Are Japanese Imports." Rutgers Law Review 55: 155. http://heinonline.org/HOL/Page?handle=hein.journals/rutlr55&id=165&div=&collection=.〕 Tolerance towards dōjinshi on the part of copyright holders means that dōjin shops can continue to operate.
Some dōjin shops also have online stores through which they sell print dōjinshi, and sometimes also downloadable digital dōjinshi, dōjin games, and so on. Stores that sell digital dōjin works are called "download stores". Some download stores operate purely online and do not have a physical store attached to them. The largest of these is DLsite.com. Additionally, some fan creators operate their own online shops.
