Did Expo ’90 really draw over 23 million visitors to the ポルトガル館? Here at the ポルトガル館, it’s hard to imagine such a massive crowd. This unassuming memorial plate marks a piece of Osaka’s history, a whisper of a time when the world converged on Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park. ポルトガル館 wasn’t always just a memorial plate. It was a vibrant pavilion during the International Garden and Greenery Exposition, or simply Expo ’90. This expo, the first of its kind in Asia, ran for 183 days, from April 1st to September 30th, 1990. Its theme was the “Harmonious Coexistence of Nature and Mankind.” Eighty-three countries and 55 international organizations participated, showcasing their cultures, gardens, and technologies. Portugal, represented here at the former site of the ポルトガル館, was one of those nations. Imagine the vibrant displays, the exotic plants, the mingling of languages. The ポルトガル館, along with pavilions from all over the world, contributed to a global village right here in Osaka. Expo ’90 wasn’t just a celebration of flowers and greenery. It also led to the creation of the annual International Cosmos Prize. This prize recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the harmonious coexistence of nature and mankind. So, as you stand before this simple marker, remember the legacy of Expo ’90 and the ポルトガル館. It represents a moment in time when Osaka welcomed the world. It showcased the beauty of nature. It emphasized the importance of international cooperation.
