Mugonkan, Art museum in Koaso, Japan
The Mugonkan museum exhibits paintings and drawings created by art students who died during World War II, displaying their final artistic expressions.
The museum opened in May 1997 when Seiichiro Kuboshima established the facility to preserve works from art students who perished in military service.
The collection contains numerous drawings and paintings that reveal the artistic talents and personal experiences of Japanese students before their departure.
Located 30 minutes from Sakaki Interchange, the museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with admission fees of 1,000 yen for adults.
Each displayed artwork represents the last creative output of young artists whose artistic careers ended prematurely due to wartime mobilization.
