Long lost Taro Okamoto mural returns home after 35 years

TOKYO, Japan - Members involved in the restoration of a long-lost mural painting by renowned Japanese artist Taro Okamoto (1911-1996) sit for a press conference in Tokyo on June 6. They plan to restore the painting, which recently returned to Japan from Mexico, for future public showing. The ''Myth of Tomorrow,'' a 5.5 meter by 30 meter mural, captures the moment of an atomic-bomb explosion and depicts a skeleton burning under a mushroom cloud while others seek to flee.
