Yoshida was present at the collaborative production of the Hiroshima Panels, modeled for the paintings herself, and brought the paintings on behalf of the artist to exhibitions around the country. Yoshida offers a vivid portrait of the charged intersection between political movements and art that opened a singular horizon of imagination in Japan under US occupation.
