He was one of several winners of the prize at the first Nika Exhibition in 1914. He was also a member of the jury at the Hiroshima Inten Exhibition and portrayed American deaf-blind author Helen Keller. Kanda later made numerous trips abroad. In 1955, he began to draw the “atomic bomb ten installments” and was committed to the establishment of the Hiroshima Peace Art Exhibition. A major exhibition presented his work posthumously in 1978.
