Kyoto Museum for World Peace, Ritsumeikan University 2026 Spring Special Exhibition
Kazuma Obara Photo Exhibition｜KG＋ Special Exhibition Unreel （ほどく) – Fragments of the Human Condition

Kyoto Museum for World Peace, Ritsumeikan University is pleased to present a photo exhibition by Kazuma Obara, a photojournalist based in Japan who has been working both
domestically and internationally. Since beginning his career as a freelance photojournalist in the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Obara has consistently focused his lens on individuals whose lives are often overlooked in our society. Through close engagement and relationships formed during his reporting, he has committed himself to documenting the realities faced by those living with the long-term consequences of war, nuclear disasters, infectious diseases, and other crises.
Our spring special exhibition brings together the full scope of projects Obara has undertaken over the past fifteen years. His projects include those affected by Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster; survivors of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident; nuclear power plant workers; fishermen exposed to radiation during the Bikini Atoll hydrogen bomb tests; children living in the aftermath of World War II; Roma minorities living under the Ukraine War; patients receiving end-of-life care during the COVID-19 pandemic; and Hansen’s disease (leprosy) survivors and their families.
Titled Unreel, the exhibition evokes the image of the gradual unwinding of tightly coiled threads. Obara’s photographs illuminate the layered structures that underlie historical

events and reveal the fragments of personal experience embedded within them. By tracing these strands across time and geography, the exhibition seeks to unravel the connections between past and present, inviting visitors to reflect on how unseen histories continue to shape the world we are currently living in and into our shared future.

Kazuma Obara
Born in Iwate Prefecture in 1985, Kazuma Obara now lives in Osaka. He is a photojournalist with a master’s degree in Photojournalism from the University of the Arts London.
Obara’s practice centers on marginalized individuals whose presence becomes invisible amid catastrophes. His work has been exhibited venues including the Rencontres d’Arles, the Kyoto International Photography Festival, and other museums and photography festivals in both Japan and overseas.
His major publications include RESET (Rass Müller Verlag, Switzerland, 2012), a photo book on the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and its workers; Silent Histories (RM, Spain, 2015), depicting the postwar lives of children affected by the Pacific War; and Exposure (RM, 2017), a long-term documentation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. In addition to receiving the World Press Photo Award, he has been awarded photography grants from the National Geographic Society and the Fujifilm GFX Challenge Grant.
