The Yushima Seidō Exposition was held at Taiseiden Hall, previously a Shinto shrine. It opened on 10 March 1872, closed 20 days later and displayed more than 600 items.[1]
The exhibition took place a year before Vienna's world's fair, and was used as an opportunity to collate items for both events.[1][2]

There were over 600 exhibits: cultural artefacts and natural exhibits.[1] One of the sashi from Nagoya Castle was shown, and was very popular.[1]
