DescriptionMickey Mouse, with arms raised and wearing a yellow-green, collared, and short-sleeved button-up shirt, is at left behind barbed wire. A traditional male Japanese figure's profile face is at right, in front of the wire and facing left. The background is mostly orange, down to a horizon line on which a black, trapezoidal building and part of another are standing. Below the horizon line, the ground is taupe colored.Exhibition HistoryProvenance
