A Call for Peace

The exhibition presents six of the fifteen Hiroshima Panels by Iri and Toshi Maruki and artifacts collected from the detonation sites lent by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, . The Marukis, Nobel Peace Prize nominees in 1995, produced the paintings over 30 years. The panels represent recollections from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, “where hell and the modern age fused in August 1945.” These impressive pieces are famous throughout Japan and have been exhibited in more than 20 nations worldwide.
