SHIHO FUKADA
50 YEARS LATER
LEFT:
Shuri, 15, waits for a customer. She was born into brothel and adopted by another sex worker.
RIGHT:
Mina does not know her age. She was married to her cousin when she was 11 years old but was sold to brothel by her aunt after marriage. When she was a young girl, her madam used to beat her and forced her to take pills that make girls fat so that they look more attractive to customers. She laments the way she looks now. She has no family and her child died of pneumonia.
