EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodblock print from 1877 by Kawanabe Gyosai transports us back to a significant moment in Japanese history - the First Industrial Fair held in Tokyo during the late Meiji era. The triptych composition beautifully captures the grandeur of this event, showcasing not only the esteemed presence of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken but also highlighting Japan's growing interest in Westernization. The print depicts an array of scenes that showcase both entertainment and industrial progress. In one panel, we see a bustling fairground with various attractions such as carousels and carriages, symbolizing Japan's embrace of modernity. The flags fluttering proudly above signify national pride and unity. Emperor Meiji stands tall amidst the crowd, his regal attire reflecting his position as a revered leader guiding Japan through its transformation into an industrial powerhouse. Beside him stands Empress Shoken, radiating elegance and grace. Kawanabe Gyosai masterfully captures this pivotal moment when traditional Japanese culture intertwined with Western influences to shape a new era for Japan. This woodblock print serves as a visual testament to Japan's determination to embrace progress while preserving its rich heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of how trade fairs like these played a crucial role in shaping nations' destinies by fostering innovation, cultural exchange, and economic growth
