The Japanese pavilion at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition was much admired by visitors. Unlike most of the fair buildings, however, the Ho-o-den remained in situ on the Wooded Island long after the exposition was over, thus providing an architectural reference for anyone interested in Japanese design. This article details the design, construction and initial reception of the Ho-o-den at the fair. A second article will explore the enduring influence of the building on American design.
