The following materials are from an exhibition Hiroi-sensei described in his earlier interviews. The exhibition occurred from June to August 1993 at the Sendai City Museum. The materials included an image guide to tops in the exhibition and an informational page on the history of tops. Regarding this exhibition, Hiroi-sensei said:

“The Sendai museum. I’ve done an exhibition of these Edo tops before. What was amazing at that time was the museum exhibited all of the tops, and we asked Landis-sensei if there was something she’d use to describe the Edo tops in one word in English, and it was the first time I’d heard her use the word unbelievable [anbiriihaburu]] And the museum wrote above its entrance “Unbelievable Edo Tops.” And before long it was on television, so at the time they started saying unbelievable. It might be because of Landis-sensei that the word unbelievable spread throughout Japan at the time. Heh heh heh. Until then no one knew about that kind of thing. It was said that that word fit Edo tops perfectly. I thought, “Yeah, that’s the sort of thing they are.” “
