Special Exhibition for the 80th Anniversary of the Air Raids: "The Osaka Air Raids – Memories from 80 Years Ago"

We must not let the memories of war fade away. From 1944 (Showa 19), Osaka experienced more than 50 air raids. Survivors of these bombings have preserved their memories in the form of testimonies and experience-based paintings, hoping to pass them on to future generations. These words and drawings, created by the survivors themselves, vividly bring back the horrors of the air raids, even after 80 years. This special exhibition presents personal testimonies from those who lived through the bombings, alongside paintings related to their accounts.
