The exposition boom began in the Meiji era and continued after the war. It was supported by many private developers. This includes the story of Kumihiki Yumihito, who performed Japan's first acrobatic flight, Takamura Koun, who exhibited a giant Buddha statue, and Yoshitaro Hirasawa, who tried to create a "Takarazuka" in Kanazawa. As shown in the photo, there is a stain on the top edge of the book. Otherwise, there are no noticeable stains, sun damage, or folds.
