The exhibition demonstrates a varied genre of art in both countries. The Bangladeshi painters have focused on traditional folk art, natural beauty in different locations, moving and remarkable sights. Some artists have painted marginalised people, capturing the diverse moments of their social and cultural life as well as commoners' sufferings, pains and ecstasies.
Among the Japanese participating painters, Tadaichi Skamoto is a prominent figure in the exposition. He is the senior most painter among the participants. The painter has been hugely inspired by the works of the Impressionists and Post-impressionists and he adopts their vibrant palette and the impasto application of paint. His paintings depict the natural beauty of his motherland. His works also highlight different mountains, hillocks, rivers, flora and fauna as well as many aspects of environmental landscape. At the group exhibition, most of the Japanese painters highlight urban and countryside landscapes, scenic beauties and religious rituals. Some artists' works plunge deep into pure forms and compositions.
Among other Japanese participants are Satuko Fujimura, Kaho Takano, Chuzaburo Araki, Yoko Kawasaki, Noriko Obata, Hiromi Mori, Keizo Hayashi, Kazuaki Yoneya and Fukazawa Koro.
