Many local governments will exhibit their specialty products at the Osaka Expo, set to start on Sunday.
Eye-catching items will include a 1-meter wajima-nuri lacquerware globe from Ishikawa Prefecture, where a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck on Jan. 1, 2024. Made over five years, the globe escaped damage from the earthquake.
"We are eager to show the strength of wajima-nuri, which has not been broken by the earthquake," Ishikawa Gov. Hiroshi Hase said.
