Okinawa was the site of the largest ground battle fought in Japan during World War II, in which approximately 1 in 4 residents lost their lives. In 1981, the Soka Gakkai Okinawa youth members began collecting paintings and drawings by survivors, capturing lived memories from a civilian perspective. Around 700 works were gathered and this exhibition displays 50 selected works, alongside panels on the history of the Battle of Okinawa.
