Abstract
At the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876 Japanese carpenters built two buildings, Japanese Bazaar and Japanese Dwelling. Scrutinizing them from the historical context, it came to clear that the former was organized by the Japanese government with the intention of promoting export, and for it we can see the representation of 'traditional' Japanese elements. It was one of the good examples of the Exhibition buildings for thinking about the representation of 'traditional' Japanese style or motifs in countries overseas.
