Austria's paravent at Expo 2025: the Osaka folding screen
Austria Pavilion, Expo 2025 Osaka, with AT&S
The Austria Pavilion at World Expo 2025 in Osaka showed a Japanese treasure that lives in Austria: the Osaka paravent, an early 17th century Japanese folding screen depicting Osaka under Toyotomi rule, the world's only surviving view of the city from that era. The screen spent centuries cut into the wall covering of a room at Schloss Eggenberg in Graz and was only recognised there in 2001. Together with AT&S, Artivive animated it, so Expo visitors hold up a phone and watch the vanished city come to life with narration and effects. Four hundred years later, the artwork went home.
Outcome: On show in the Austria Pavilion for the full Expo run, 13 April to 13 October 2025, sponsored by AT&S.
