Tokyo Street Children: A Homeless Girl Wanders the Late-Night Streets, Dreaming of Earning Money Through Prostitution to Attend School. Natsu Hara Yui

A lone girl wanders the streets of Tokyo late at night. Known as a homeless child who has moved from one household to another, her life has been a continuous struggle filled with anxiety and uncertainty. When asked about her past, it becomes clear that she has faced endless hardship. One day, after offering her a meal and introducing her to a job opportunity, her eyes began to sparkle with hope. Smiling, she says, "I'll do anything because I can't survive otherwise," and her innocent gaze reveals a glimmer of optimism. She dreams aloud, "If I keep working, maybe I can go back to school?"—her words radiating hope for the future. *No performers in this work are under 18 years of age.
