Two small figures in front of a white pavilion. One of them holds what looks like an umbrella.

About this photo

Beyond a broad sweep of white ground, a one-story Western-style pavilion stretches out long and low. Along the front, white columns alternate with tall black windows, and in the middle, a raised entrance under a small roof. Above and behind the roof, dark trees cluster together.

Nakajima Park, in what was then Sapporo Ward, served as the First Venue of the Hokkaido Exhibition, and many pavilions stood there, from this Horticulture Pavilion to the Colonization, Education and Hygiene Pavilion and the Machinery Pavilion. Visitors over the course of the exhibition: 1,423,661 in all. And in front of this one, two small people stand.
