There is a small holding of material relating to the British Japanese exhibition of 1910.

There is the official report of the exhibition, with photographs of the organisers and detailed pictures and descriptions of the exhibits. There is a scrap book of newspaper cuttings about the exhibition - both the anticipation before the opening, and the reviews afterwards. There are maps of the floorplan of the exhibition. There are also three or four books of postcards and photographs of the exhibition, from general crowd views to gardens, teahouses, wrestlers and one photograph of the British attempting to do jiu-jitsu in full Edwardian dress.

A number of the postcards and cuttings relate to the 'Ainu village'. The Ainu are a cultural minority who live in the northern islands of Japan. During the exhibition they lived at the White City site, and spectators observed them going about their everyday lives. They were an object of fascination as living lives very different from the rest of Japanese society.
