The organisers of Denimsandjeans Japan show have postponed the first edition of the Japan show, which was originally scheduled on March 4-5 at Sunshine City, Tokyo. The decision has been taken keeping in mind the safety and health concerns of all stakeholders, in view of the growing threat of Coronavirus, which WHO has declared a global health emergency.

"The first edition of the Denimsandjeans Japan show was attracting global attention and was expected to be attended by leading retailers and brands from the US, EU, and Southeast Asian countries. The local Japanese buyers were also excited to attend the show and to meet denim companies from all around the globe. But the sudden rise of Coronavirus compelled organisers to evaluate the situation in order to ensure the safety and wellness of all the stakeholders participating in the show," the organisers said in a press release.

The spread of coronavirus has affected travel plans of global buyers, visitors, and participants in various events. "We have been studying the virus situation for a few days and we felt that we could not take a chance on the health of our exhibitors, visitors and our team as well. We are postponing the show and will announce new dates as soon as we feel exhibitors and visitors will be much more comfortable to attend. We thank everyone for their understanding and support," said Denimsandjeans founder Sandeep Agarwal.

The new dates for the Japan show will be announced shortly after evaluating the situation. However, the Vietnam show which is on May 28-29 and the India show which is on July 8-9 will be held as per the schedule.
