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.
