While the storytellers of war experiences are becoming rare as we approach the 80th anniversary of the war, the composition of the exhibition reaffirms the irreplaceability of the ordinary through thinking about the reality of war in the peaceful Japan of 2025. Please pay attention to the message of the artist, who, as an artist and a member of the young generation living in today's peaceful Japan, practices what he can do to "prevent the repetition of mistakes."
