This text describes an exhibition focusing on the design elements of the 1970 Osaka Expo, a national festival in Japan. This included features like Taro Okamoto's "Tower of the Sun" and pavilions conceptualized by Kenzo Tange, and various designs by Yusaku Kamekura, Shigeo Fukuda, Kazumasa Nagai, Mitsuwo Katsu, Takashi Kono, and Takeshi Otaka. These contributions encompassed official poster competition entries, symbol mark creation, signage planning, and commemorative stamps and medals. An exhibition catalog from a related 2015 exhibit at the Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art, edited by Masahiro Karasawa, Yoko Imai, and Takuya Kida, documents these design elements.
