Tsuneko is considered the first Japanese photojournalist (at the age of 25) and has been documenting 70 years of history since then (including pre & post was periods in Japan).

Tsunekos says: “You should never become lazy. It’s essential to remain positive about your life and never give up,” Sasamoto told NHK. “You need to push yourself and stay aware, so you can move forward. That’s what I want people to know.”
