Japan Design Committee

In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the entire annual series of the Hiroshima Appeals poster project is exhibited.

Initiated by JAGDA Hiroshima and Hiroshima International Cultural Foundation, and currently also operated by The Hiroshima Peace Creation Fund, the series demonstrates remarkably sustained continuity and ongoing efforts of world-wide compassion ( https://hiroshima.jagda.or.jp/appeals_about.html ).

The series consists of 29 posters, headed by KAMEKURA Yūsaku’s masterpiece “Burning Butterflies” 1983, continued with an unbroken sequence of works of high artistic excellence.

Selected works from The Japan Foundation, Toronto’s poster collection accompany the Hiroshima Appeals posters which share the unique nature of the design creation in being non-commercial, abstract, conceptual, and focusing on global issues and subjects.
