Chiba Town prospered as a distribution center in the Edo period (1603-1868), and when Chiba Prefecture was established in 1873, it became the prefectural capital with its prefectural government office. During the Taisho era (1912-1926), the town was incorporated as a city, and although it was damaged by air raids during the Showa era (1926-1989), it once again prospered through postwar reconstruction ・ and high growth, and has gone through turbulent times.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the prefecture becoming the capital. This exhibition looks at the history of this turbulent city, focusing on its commercial activities. Among the many merchant families that supported the prosperity of the city of Chiba, this exhibition focuses on three distinctive families, Iwataya （ Wada Shoten ）, Tadaya, and Naraya, to introduce their business activities and the various choices they made as merchants amid the turbulent times.
