After the Rain, Earth Hardens

KanakoM

When a former Japanese state-sponsored prostitute during WWII is tracked down by a tabloid journalist digging for secrets of a prominent politician, she decides to break her silence. So starts her story: “The war made me an orphan, then a whore.” A story of "crooked" love and inter-generational trauma of war, "After the Rain, Earth Hardens" is told with tenderness and compassion, giving voice to the silenced and forgotten women in the history of post-war Japan.
