The Chōsen Industrial Exhibition (朝鮮物産共進会) was a colonial fair held in 1915 to mark the 5th anniversary of the establishment of Japanese Korea, and was the first official event of the new government.[1][page needed] It was held in Keijō (Seoul)[2][page needed] at Gyeongbokgung.
Location and buildings
The exhibition was held in the grounds of the Gyeongbokgung palace[3][page needed] and took place in both existing buildings, and newly constructed ones.[3][page needed] The layout was designed to contrast historic Korean architecture with modern Japanese architecture and visitors entered through the existing Gwanghwamun gate, before the new Illhogwan (First Exhibition Hall), which stood in front of the Geunjeongjeon throne room.[3][page needed]
Contents
There were over 40,000 exhibits, mainly Japanese and Korean, with some Taiwanese exhibits. There were agricultural objects in Illhogwan, and further objects in the Kigyegwan (Machinery) and the Ch'amgogwan (Reference) halls.[3][page needed]
Visitors
Over 1 million people attended the exhibition before it closed on 31 October 1915.[1][page needed][2][page needed]
