At the end of World War II, Japan was left in ruins and a relative cultural void. During the next quarter century, Japan endured the legacy of the atomic bomb, as well as the experiences of foreign occupation and a rapid transformation into a metropolitan society. This exhibition highlights a dynamic phase of avant-garde art in postwar Japan, which was characterized by self-reflection and multimedia experimentation.
