Story of young women living through war, whether from a Korean or Japanese perspective  

Both are hard-hitting looks at the civilians who were made victims by World War 2. Grass is about the Korean women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese forces (comfort women). Hadashi no Gen is about the Japanese survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bomb blast and the struggles they faced thereafter. Both also use plants as metaphors for the resilience of the main characters.
