Souvenir of Osaka

When I went to Osaka, I visited the 5th National Industrial Exposition. A very interesting place. Full of crazy and strange things. Osaka was the centre of the commerce and industry of the Empire and here in the 1903 all the provinces of the Japan held a great exhibition to display the best products of all their industries. All the strangers were received kindly and friendly and I think that Osaka is the wealthiest city of all the country. Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Arts are very considered. The recent development of this country is unbeliveble! There is eletric light everywhere, and the modern progress has for the Japaneses an ethical value. The Land of the Rising Sun is really a land of prosperity and enchanting things. And this Exposition was a shining example of all this. His Royal Highness Prince Kotohito, better known as Kan-in-no-miya, had the honorary office of President and that give the signe of the importance of this happening. A great Aquarium is included in the Grat Exhibition and in the garden all around it there were so many pleasant pavillions, used as tea houses,in which I could admire the nature around me, the cherry, maple, pine and other trees. It was really wonderful!
