Pan-American Exposition--(1901:Buffalo, N.Y.)--Buildings
Cityscapes
Shows an exterior view of the "Fair Japan" exhibit. There is a mix between Euro-American people and Japanese architecture which denotes the intertwining of America's many cultures.
A street scene features several Japanese-style buildings and pagodas, with signs identifying the area as the “Bazaar of Fair Japan” and “Representatives of Japanese Manufacturers.” A row of rickshaws lines the walkway, while groups of people in Western clothing walk past the exhibits. Banners with Japanese writing hang from tall poles near the entrances.
