Colour postcard, showing a view of the 'Entrance to Japanese Fair', Japan-British Exhibition, 1910. This souvenir postcard shows the entrance to the Japanese Fair pavilion at the Japan-British exhibition. This pavilion, representing 'Japan at work and Japan at play,' was one of the main attractions of the exhibition held at White City in 1910.
