Maruki Gallery for the Hiroshima Panels

The Maruki Gallery houses fifteen large painted panels measuring 1.8 by 7.2 meters that illustrate the effects of atomic bombings in Japan.

Artists Iri and Toshi Maruki opened this gallery in May 1967 to display their collaborative work depicting the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The panels combine traditional Japanese black ink techniques with red colors to represent nuclear flames while documenting the experiences of Japanese civilians.

The museum operates from 9:00 to 17:00 between March and November, and 9:30 to 16:30 from December to February, with entrance fees of 900 yen.

The restoration of Panel II, titled Fire, continues until 2025 while fourteen other panels remain permanently displayed in the gallery.
