The Yushima Seidō Exposition was held at Taiseiden Hall, previously a Shinto shrine. It opened on 10 March 1872, closed 20 days later and displayed more than 600 items.[1]
Context
[edit]The exhibition took place a year before Vienna's world's fair, and was used as an opportunity to collate items for both events.[1][2]
Contents
[edit]There were over 600 exhibits: cultural artefacts and natural exhibits.[1] One of the sashi from Nagoya Castle was shown, and was very popular.[1]
Visitors
[edit]The Emperor visited on 13 March and the Empress on 30 March.[3] 192 878 people visited in total.[3]
Legacy
[edit]After the event much of the collection was opened as a permanent museum, which lead to the establishment of the Tokyo National Museum.[2][4]
