The Japanese government built twenty-two pavilions for seventeen international expositions before World War II. All the pavilions but one had Japanese-style elevations : motifs of traditional architecture were applied. Such designs were based on either specific building types in specific eras or famous old edifices, but such models were not accurately traced on the elevations of the pavilions, but modified applying motifs in different eras freely. This suggests what the architects thought: they tried to make a "modern Japanese-style," although their way belonged to eclecticism of the 19th century.
