In 1970 (Showa 45), amidst Japan's rapid economic growth, the Japan World Exposition (EXPO '70) was held in the Senri Hills of Osaka. As an event symbolizing Japan's high economic growth, it achieved over 64 million visitors with the participation of 77 countries. The entire country was enveloped in the Expo mood. 55 years later, in 2025 (Reiwa 7), the Expo will return to Osaka. This book looks back at the Osaka Expo based on the previously released "Gakken Edition Elementary School Student's Japan World Exposition," "Extra Edition Junior High Course EXPO '70 Everything," "Extra Edition High School Course World Exposition Young Guide," and the treasured photographs taken for their production. The book's structure alternates between newly written pages introducing pavilions and trivia, and reprinted pages from the magazines "Science" and "Learning" of the time, allowing those who attended, as well as those who couldn't, to relive the excitement of the Osaka Expo. ■ Special Interview with Naoki Urasawa! "The Expo in me hasn't ended yet." The book features a special interview with Naoki Urasawa, the author of the hit science fiction adventure manga "20th Century Boys." How was this grand story, which depicted the Osaka Expo as a "symbol of a brilliant future," created? He shares his memories of the time and talks extensively about the impact the Osaka Expo had on his life and his expectations for the future. ■ Introduction of rare items selected by Tatsuro Shirai, Japan's foremost Expo goods collector With the cooperation of Tatsuro Shirai, who owns over 10,000 Expo-related goods, the book also features numerous ultra-valuable items such as tickets, commemorative medals, and records from the time. In the current Showa retro boom, these nostalgic items are enjoyable just to look at, and are sure to bring fresh surprises to generations who don't know the Expo. ▲▽▲▽ Main Contents ▲▽▲▽ 【Opening Interview: Naoki Urasawa】 "The regret of not being able to go to the Expo led me to draw '20th Century Boys'" 【Introduction】 The excitement and emotion of 1970 revive!
