The work, \u201c1946\u201d by Chinese artist Wang Xiqi, portrays hundreds boarding ships at Huludao. Hakata Port was one of Japan\u2019s largest repatriation hubs, receiving about 1.39 million returnees. With firsthand storytellers dwindling, organizers hope the November exhibition at Fukuoka Asian Art Museum will encourage historical reflection and peace awareness.<\/span><b> Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20250723\/5010029055.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172367\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_1946-art_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C860&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Massive Repatriation Painting To Debut In Fukuoka\" width=\"1400\" height=\"860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_1946-art_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_1946-art_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C184&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_1946-art_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C629&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fnn_1946-art_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C472&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
