Judge's comment

At first glance, this exhibition is a powerful work that deals with the human body, and resembles the expressions of Dubuffet. It's large and quite impressive. But Mr. Harada's mysterious personality is clear. A human body discovered in an ancient tomb unexpectedly showed its organs intact, just like a modern human. A transparent feeling between oblivion and vivid reality that creates such a hallucination in the viewer. Rich nature revived in time. (Akiya Takahashi)
