Expo 2025 and the Sukajan
Expo 2025 was held in Osaka from 13 April to 13 October 2025, the second World Expo in Osaka Prefecture after Expo 1970 in Suita, and drew more than 29 million visits.
The sukajan, or souvenir jacket, began in occupied Japan after the Second World War, made by Japanese craftspeople for American servicemen on the pattern of the varsity jacket, and was later taken up by Japanese youth culture. Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
More souvenir jackets hang in the sukajan collection.
