The six-day exhibition aims to help Japanese people understand more about Vietnam War.

On displays were 148 photos taken by reporters from the Vietnam News Agency, Asahi newspaper and many Japanese photographers present in the Vietnamese battlefields, such as Teizo Umezu, Bunyou Ishikawa, Shisei Kuwabara and Kyoichi Sawada. Many of those photos won international contests.

The exhibition is divided into five parts, reflecting different historical periods of the war. The photos not only vividly and truthfully feature ferocity and destructive power of the war but also the Vietnamese people's heroic fighting spirit and will in the struggle for national liberation and unity.

The exhibition also shows the country's changes since it began the renewal process, especially in Ho Chi Minh City.
