The Japan Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, serves as the official pavilion of the Japanese government. Designed in response to its exhibition concept "Between Lives," the architecture embodies themes of "the relay of life" and "the cycle of life" through a repetitive, staggered arrangement of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels in a concentric circular formation.
