*''Dates: May 14-Oct 29, [[1910]]''
The Japan-British Exhibition, held at the White City in London, May 14 through October 29, [[1910]], was the largest international exhibition Japan had yet participated in. [[Tomita Kojiro|Tomita Kôjirô]] served as one of the representatives of Japan, and a model of the [[Taitokuin Mausoleum]] was shown alongside thirteen other models of Japanese architecture. More than eight million people attended, including King George V and Queen Mary.
The exhibition, like [[World's Fairs]] and other international exhibitions, was an opportunity for the [[Meiji government]] to show the world how modern Japan was, and to press for greater acceptance as a great power of the world. The Japanese displays included examples of Japanese craft, sports, entertainment, music, and so forth.
