A sculptor based in Okinawa has completed a 100-meter relief depicting the 1945 Battle of Okinawa, installing the work at a former U.S. military facility in the village of Yomitan.

Minoru Kinjo, 68, spent 10 years completing one of the scenes in the work, titled "Senso to Ningen" ("War and Human Beings"). The exhibition will run through June 24, a day after the 62nd anniversary of the end of the battle.

Made of cement and plaster, the sculpture was installed along a former runway of the Yomitan Auxiliary Airfield, which was fully returned to Japan late last year.
