The catalogue consists of a number of essays split between good primers about the history and urban development of Nagoya and average gaijin culture shock essays. Starting in 1610, the historical part misses Oda Nobunaga and the fight for the control of central Japan and thus neglects to tell the reader that the large Tokugawa garrison in Nagoya served as a lookout on rebellious Western Japan. I wish the authors had compared the development of Nagoya to the other cities. A lost chance, especially as Vienna experienced a similar growth spurt and saw extensive redevelopment.
The second part chronicles the exhibition with a large number of beautiful prints, maps and photographs of the city and its artifacts. The caption texts are often on the short side.
