Seiji Fujishiro: Expressing the Joy of Life through Light and Shadow

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. 80% of the Japanese population was born after the war, and the people who are old enough to remember it are all elderly. How will they pass on their stories? One man who is telling his story is the artist Seiji Fujishiro, age 91, well known in Japan for his "shadow pictures". Why did Fujishiro feel compelled to make art about his experience of war? We ask this and many more questions as we explore Japan 70 years after the war.
