Description
"Chain of Tears" intricately weaves a tale that spans Japan's historical epochs, shedding light on the cruel fates of women ensnared in a sinister cycle of exploitation.
From the tranquility of the Edo period to the upheaval of the Imperial era, this book immerses readers in a world where daughters are bartered like mere possessions and the commodification of women is sanctioned by law.
Within the seductive elegance of the pleasure quarters lies the grim truth-women are dehumanized, and their voices are silenced out of reverence for their parents.
Explore this moving story that fearlessly tackles the stark reality of a society where women exist solely to fulfill the desires of men.
