About books

In commemoration of this exhibition, "The Century of Expo 1851-1970 A CENTURY OF WORLD EXPOSITIONS 1851-1970" (Author: Shinya Hashizume, Edit: NOMURA Kogeisha, Publisher: Seigensha) has also been published.

“Although the nature of exhibitions has changed with the times, the methodology of displays called expositions has been handed down over the centuries, both at home and abroad. As long as there is a demand for a place to show, regardless of whether it is in the form of the past or not, the “equipment of civilization” that is the exposition will be inherited. (from Shinya Hashizume's "Exposition Century")
