An exhibition about the Tokyo Trial has opened at the China Art Museum to mark the 70th anniversary of the judgment on Japanese leaders accused of war crimes.
The exhibits include a 168-meter-long by 4-meter-high panorama, painted over a period of three and a half years by artist Li Bin based on meticulous research.
The painting shows more than 400 of the people who took part, including judges, prosecutors and accused.
