An exhibition showcasing The Japan Times' 120 years of reporting on the nation's most important historical moments opened Saturday in Yokohama.
Commemorating the 120th anniversary of the country's oldest English-language daily, the exhibition features 330 pages of the newspaper's coverage of major events and topics, including the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the death of Emperor Hirohito, posthumously known as Emperor Showa, in 1989.
Also highlighted in the exhibition is the history of colorful "Timeout" pages featuring Japanese culture and famous Japanese figures. The paper's coverage of sports and disasters, as well as its role in language education and advertising, are also put under the spotlight.
