✅ Description✅
Expo 1970 Osaka, held from 15 March 1970 to 13 September 1970,
The first World's Fair held in Asia, its theme was "Progress and Harmony for Mankind." 77 countries participated. It was the largest exposition in history, brilliantly integrating rustic ethnic cultures with cutting-edge technologies such as Apollo lunar modules and robots, all within the framework of abstract art and rooted in the Japanese spirit of harmony.
This world fair was an importante piece in the origin of Japanese video games, At least six videogames were presented.
It was hard to be more futuristic than moving walkways in 1970, but Expo ‘70 certainly tried. There were the giant robots Deme and Deku who made appearances in the Festival Plaza. There was the time capsule in the Matushita (i.e. Panasonic) Pavilion, set to be sealed for 5,000 years; the human washing machine or ultrasonic bath pod in the Sanyo Pavillion; the flight simulator in the Hitachi Pavillion; a moon landing simulator in the IBM pavilion; and an early wireless telephone in the Electronics and Communications Pavilion; not to mention the radically new architecture of the Metabolist movement.
The Fujipan Robot Pavilion was produced by Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989), the father of modern manga and of the first anime in the form of robot boy series Astroboy. He was assisted by Aritsune Toyota (1938-2023).

IBM, the world's leading business computer manufacturer, also participated. The theme was the human role in problem-solving, and the potential and interactivity of computers were clearly demonstrated through games and playful activities using light pens.

Also from the IBM Pavilion. This event displays various options on a screen based on a given theme, which participants select and combine using an electronic pen, and then print out their creation. There are three themes: It's more of a computer game similar to Pico than a video game, but it was so popular that I wanted to introduce it. Manga Creation: This was a huge hit with the kids. Participants choose characters from manga like Astro Boy or Obake no Q-taro, and then create a story by selecting from a list of options.
