List of Works

Highlights

◯Artists and the City of Hiroshima

Art is not confined to museum walls—it can also be found throughout the city. One example is Yanagihara Yoshitatsu’s La Pensée, installed in 1953 in the greenbelt along Peace Boulevard. This sculpture, believed to be the first outdoor artwork placed in Hiroshima after the war, was created with hopes for the city’s recovery and for peaceful public spaces. This section introduces artists who have engaged with Hiroshima through their work in public spaces and the urban environment.

◯Celebrating Life

A well-known Japanese children’s song begins with the line, “We’re all alive,” naming creatures like earthworms, pond skaters, dragonflies, and sparrows as our friends. Inspired by this joyful celebration of life, this section features works that explore living beings—not only insects and animals, but a broader sense of life itself.

Hiroshima / HIROSHIMA

Hiroshima/HIROSHIMA

When referring to Hiroshima as the site of the atomic bombing, it is often written in katakana as “ヒロシマ (HIROSHIMA),” evoking a symbolic or global perspective. One of our museum’s key collection policies focuses on works that examine the relationship between “HIROSHIMA” and contemporary art. We have also commissioned and acquired pieces specifically on this theme. This section focuses on artworks created in connection with the region and the idea of Hiroshima/HIROSHIMA.
