Wadatsumi-zo

The centerpiece of the Museum's artwork, this sculpture was created by Shin Hongo in an attempt to depict the "Sighs, Anger and Pain" of college students drafted into the armed forces during the Student Mobilization of October 1943. This imposing piece stands in the stairwell leading from the Museum's entrance down to the basement exhibit hall.
