Toy Journal

*The **Toy Journal** Monthly (月刊 「トイジャーナル」)* is an industry magazine published by the Tokyo Toy Doll Cooperative.

## History

The publication was originally founded by the Tokyo Toy & Doll Wholesalers Cooperative Association as the ***Tokyo Toy Doll Business Bulletin*** on April 22, 1903. The bulletin adopted a magazine format and changed its title to *Toy Journal* in July 1967, when the association celebrated its 80th anniversary. The association changed its name to Tokyo Toy Doll Cooperative in March 2012.

### Tokyo Toy Show catalogue

The *Toy Journal* annually produces an official ***International Tokyo Toy Show catalog** (東京おもちゃショー カタログ)*, sometimes called a *"guide" (ガイド)* or *"collection" (大全集)*, under the supervision of the Japan Toy Association. During the 1980s, the guide sometimes became large enough to require being split into two volumes.
