Katsumata studied nuclear physics at graduate school and became aware of the dangers of nuclear power plants early on, covering power plants in Fukushima Daiichi, Daini and other areas. He was in charge of illustrations for "Why Nuclear Power is Scary" and "Energy Plan for Nuclear Power Plant Phase-Out" (both published by Kobunken), and selected nine short stories from among the works of the mangaka, who continued to work consistently, though humbly. The exhibition traces the spirit of Susumu Katsumata, which emerges from the different elements of his works, which are both down-to-earth and personable.
