50 years after his death, an exhibition of Yasuo Kazuki's Siberia series is currently being held at the Yamaguchi Museum of Art.

The Yamaguchi Prefectural Museum of Art is currently holding an exhibition entitled "50 Years After His Death: Yasuo Kazuki's Siberia Series." This is an opportunity to view all 57 restored pieces at once.
The artist's harsh experiences of serving in the Pacific War and his subsequent detention in Siberia led him to paint the horrors of war. On the NHK Sunday Art Museum broadcast the other day, the restorer of the painting said something to the effect of "the thickness of the paint is as thick as that of Koch's paints." Isn't the message that the artist conveys very important in today's turbulent times?
Please take a look.
