The Mainichi Shimbun Company has approximately 60,000 negatives taken by over 600 overseas correspondents from the Sino-Japanese War to the Pacific War. Starting in 2022, we have been digitally archiving these images, and have been working with the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University to decipher the background and consider ways to convey this information to future generations.
In this exhibition, you will be able to see clear images of the realities of the war taken by Mainichi Shimbun correspondents, as well as experience digital content developed through joint research. As the number of generations who directly experienced the war is decreasing, we have been working with university and graduate students to come up with a system that can help the younger generation think about war as something that concerns them personally
through these materials. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Showa era. War, defeat, reconstruction, high economic growth, the bubble economy, disasters, epidemics…newspaper photographs have captured the images of people. What is war, and how should we deal with information? We would be pleased if you could view the exhibition as a question of the present.

*We are planning various events. We will announce the details on this page once they are decided.
