The First Exhibit building has been created to point out the great strides Japan has made over the last 100 years. In this relatively brief span, Japan has moved from a feudalistic society to one of the leading industrialized nations in the world. Over the past three years Japan has doubled her industrial output and now ranks among the top four nations of the world in total industrial production. The exhibit will show visitors her achievements in advance technology in many fields, among these will be space exploration rockets, high speed cameras, electron microscopes, automated ships, ultra-modern machinery and transport concepts.

A miraculous electronic computer will give you the sensation of riding in a rocket to prepare you for the day when you can book a passage to the moon.
__Fascinating ultra-modern time-pieces will be shown, such as the water-proof stop watch to be used as the official time keeper for the Olympic Games.
__Among the many other exhibits in the second building will be a beautiful variety of textiles, both silk and rayon; the newest styles in Japanese sports cars; micro-TV sets and a highly imaginative glass display, in which even the stepping stones to a Japanese tea house are made of glass.
A model of the Nissho Maru, the world's largest tanker, (130,00 tons) will be among Japan's exhibits.
