Osaka Exhibition 1903.
[p] 第五回内國勸業博覧會場内明細図 [Detailed map of the Fifth National Industrial Exhibition]. Richard Neylon advises that the 1903 exhibition was the grandest of a series which began in 1877 as Japan raced to take its place in the modern world. For the first time foreign exhibitors were included (although they weren't allowed to win medals) and other innovations included electric illuminations, so it was open at night. Some buildings were permanent. It ran for five months and drew unprecedented crowds. The planned 1907 Sixth National Exhibition was to be truly international but fizzled and became the Tokyo Industrial Exhibition, and that was all until Expo ’70.
