Also, for a question asked during the art break, your colleague Kay Miller found an answer:

How long did internal national expositions in Japan last?

“The Second one, featured on the print that Mai showed, lasted for four months – March 1, 1881 – June 30, 1881.”

Here is a PDF of Mai’s presentation:
