醬油、味噌、溜の陳列

Display of Soy Sauce, Miso and Tamari

Tsurumai Park, Nagoya, Aichi · 1910 (Meiji era)

A palace-like display stand, with a round-roofed tower on each side. Makers of soy sauce and miso sent it to an exhibition where entrants competed over the design of their displays.

About this photo

A symmetrical display, with a round-roofed tower on each side and columns and shelves built between them. Goods that look like barrels and bottles line the shelves, and the whole thing sinks into a rather dark tone.

The 10th Kansai Prefectural Joint Exhibition (Kansai Fuken Rengo Kyoshinkai) was held in 1910 at Tsurumai Park in Nagoya. According to the table of contents, this display was put up by "愛知縣醬油味噌溜製造者" (the soy sauce, miso and tamari makers of Aichi Prefecture). The album's foreword says that at this 10th exhibition, the competition over display design was the fiercest yet, and that the displays throughout the halls showed an unprecedented beauty.
