Match World

Match World. "...Japan Match Manufacturers Association and Japan Match Lateral Corporation operate this Match Museum. The biggest feature of this museum is superior match labels, which are specially selected from Rankei Library's gigantic match label collection of twenty or thirty thousands pieces owned by the Japan Match Manufacturers Association." I've heard that in the late 19th and early 20th century Japan was the third largest exporter of matches in the world, behind the U.S. and Sweden.
