Ishiguro captures the violence that erupted during these postwar demonstrations. In 1960 the anarchic activities of Zengakuren organizations led to the cancellation of US President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s visit to Japan and the resignation of the Japanese prime minister. Today the Zengakuren continue to pursue social change in Japan.\n","remarks":"PHO_18_WLA.pdf - Day 1 Installation"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"<p>The artist.
