Japan: Tarō Okamoto's Mural Hijacked

Categories: East Asia, Japan, Arts & Culture, Disaster

Displayed in Tokyo's Shibuya Station, the mural “Myth of Tomorrow” by Tarō Okamoto depicts the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. Upowers2008 posted a video [1] of the mural after it mysteriously “gained” an additional panel that references the Fukushima nuclear reactor meltdown, as 3yen [2] explains. Police have taken down the panel since then.
