One year after the closure of the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, novelist Kaoru Takamura has spoken about the event, describing it at one point as humiliating and using it as a lens to assess Japan's national strength and the hopes it holds. Her remarks, published by the Asahi Shimbun, are drawing attention as commentators reassess what the Expo achieved and what it revealed about the country.
Why now: The one-year anniversary of the Expo's closing has prompted prominent cultural figures to publicly reevaluate its legacy.
