Encyclopedia > Expo '75

Expo '75 (Japanese: 沖縄国際海洋博覧会, Okinawa kokusai kaiyou hakurankai) was a World's Fair held on the island of Okinawa in Japan from July 20, 1975 to January 18, 1976. Worlds Fair is the generic name for various large expositions held since the mid 19th century. ... This article is about the prefecture. ... July 20 is the 201st day (202nd in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, with 164 days remaining. ... 1975 was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1975 calendar). ... January 18 is the 18th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 1976 is a leap year starting on Thursday (link will take you to calendar). ...


The World's Fair itself was situated on a floating ocean platform off the coast of the island. The theme of this World's Fair was "the sea we would like to see." This was the first international event hosted by Okinawa since autonomy of the island was given back to Japan in 1972. 1972 was a leap year that started on a Saturday. ...


After the Expo was over, the site became Okinawa Commemorative National Government Park (国営沖縄記念公園), as known as Ocean Expo Park.

Apple provided the mechanism, but Macworld Expo provided the place and time to actually interact with some of the best and brightest people I’ve ever met.
One of the more interesting products at Macworld Expo is a line of powerbook and iPod cases from the textile designer Rebe.
As previously mentioned, the Expo is so loud that you can’t hear anything well enough to evaluate sound quality, but don’t worry, we’ll give it a complete test later this season.
