I've long been fascinated by World's Fairs. I've been lucky enough to have attended several myself and have been collecting photos from them for years. I've even written books on some of them, as listed on my site www.worldsfairphotos.com.

Maps, maps, maps - Part 7
This colorful map was located at Expo '85, which was held in Tsukuba, Japan. It was located between Tokyo and the site of the recent horrific earthquake, but I haven't heard yet about damage in that area. The site was converted to industrial use following the fair, with the exception of the green parkland section. Back in 1985 color-coded maps like this one were a big help in finding my way around the site.
Expo '85 was one of my favorite fairs. I hope all of the people I met there are well now.
