Her expression speaks volumes about the hardships she faces daily while embodying unwavering devotion to her religious beliefs. This photograph serves as a window into Japanese society during that era, shedding light on the struggles faced by women like her who were forced into poverty and relied on alms for their livelihoods. It also offers insight into the role of religion and worship within Japanese culture at that time.
