The Grand Yokohama Exposition (1936)

The Grand Yokohama Exposition, which marked the centennial of the city's earthquake recovery, took place in Yamashita Park, a seafront area that was rebuilt utilizing debris from the tragedy. It featured an aquarium, a "children's land," an American rodeo, and a motorcycle circus, and over two months, it drew in over three million visitors. In this poster, Yokohama's worldwide port status is symbolized by a ship's funnel, while the city's flag is flown by the famous exhibition tower.
