80 years after the war: Touching on that time through the works of Kougetsu

The exhibition "80 Years After the War: Yasuo Kazuki, Memories of War and My Earth" and the special exhibition "Yasuo Kazuki's Siberian Series" will be held at the Yasuo Kazuki Museum of Art until September 28, 2025 (Sunday).

At the exhibition, visitors can see the story of Kozuki's life in Siberia from his departure for the war, in which he said, "I was going to die holding paints," to his internment in Siberia, and the daily scenes he painted in his hometown "Misumi" after his demobilization, along with Kozuki's own words. In addition, three works from the "Siberia Series" in the collection of the Yamaguchi Prefectural Museum of Art are also on display as a special exhibit.
