Japan’s World War II Orphans Tell Their Inspiring Tales Of Resilience And Recovery
Drawing On Her Experiences To Enlighten Others
Hoshino had a tough time shaking off the negative connotations associated with being a Second World War orphan. It was a universal struggle for just about every WWII orphan because whispers always followed about what they had to do on the streets to survive. Some had no choice but to turn to petty crime.
Later, Hoshino carved out her niche through educational drawings. She shared tales about her past ordeals through drawings collated into publications for children. Soon, Hoshino had worked on 11 orphan-based stories in this format. The moving stories included one where a wartime orphan was asked what she would do if she had magical powers. The girl simply said that she would want to be with her mother.
