See the works of Hiroshima's most famous and controversial contemporary artist
Ikuo Hirayama remains the most celebrated contemporary artist painting in the traditional Japanese style known as Nihonga. The Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art offers his greatest works, including a series depicting the introduction of Buddhism to Japan; the ancient Silk Road that ran through Turkey, Irag, Iran and China; and works depicting the atomic bomb, or the background of the atomic bomb.
Hirayama narrowly escaped death in the atomic blast in Hiroshima , and suffered from radiation sickness throughout his life, so his works on the atomic bomb were based on his own experiences.

Preserving and updating the Nihonga style
Hirayama adopted the Nihonga style of painting for much of his work, a technique common in Japan from 1900 onward that mixes contemporary subjects with traditional methods and materials. While this approach stays true to artistic traditions that have survived in Japan for centuries, it allowed the artists to adopt Western techniques such as shading and perspective.
This combination of old and new is also seen in the topics Hirayama explores. From his romanticized depictions of the ancient Silk Road to the harrowing explorations of the modern horror of nuclear war, he approached every painting with intense care and deliberation.
