After the Soviet—Japanese Basic Convention was signed in January 1925, various cultural exchanges were conducted during imbalanced relations by All-Unions Society for Cultural Relations with foreign countries (VOKS — “Vsesoiuznoe Obshchestvo Kul'turnoi Sviazi”), an entity created by the government of the Soviet Union, and private organizations of Japan. “Exhibition of Japanese children's books” was held in Moscow in October 1928.This study aims to elucidate how the exhibition of Japanese children's books was realized by collecting as many records as possible, reconstructing the whole picture of the exhibition of Japanese children's books, and examining the background of the exhibition, the contents of the exhibits, and the networks of the people involved. Finally, we discuss the background where the exhibition of Japanese children's books took place and the significance of the exhibition.
