One of the most notable pop artists of postwar Japan, Keiichi Tanaami, is bringing his exhibition to Tokyo’s NANZUKA gallery. Titled Memorial Reconstruction, it is abundant with psychedelic works on canvas and uncanny sculptural pieces that channel his memories of experiencing World War II as a child, transforming his darkest experiences into whimsical expressions heavily borrowing from Western cartoons and Japanese manga.

NANZUKA’s statement reads: “Tanaami’s recent works appear like uncanny yet pop renditions of Yokai-ga (traditional paintings of supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in Japanese folklore), however, what is depicted are various memories that were reconstructed based on Tanaami’s actual experiences, at times using dreams as a medium.”

The exhibition is open until August 8. Check out some of the works from Memorial Reconstruction below.
