Colorized Minamata

Person in Charge of the Project : Keisuke Uehara
Minamata City is located in the most southern part of Kumamoto Pref. in Kyushu. Minamata have rich environmental resources such as the beautiful Shiranui sea and the Kyushu mountains. But, Minamata City had difficulty. In 1956, Minamata-Disease was recognized officially.
When we search "Minamata" images in the Internet, a lot of black-and-white photo will be hit. That gives a negative image to people. So, we will colorize the photos of old Minamata and exhibit it.
