In 2005, she represented Japan at the Venice Biennale with her series Mother, for which she photographed items inherited from her late Mother's. In 2007, she began her internationally-renowned series ひろしま/hiroshima, for which she photographs belongings of Atom bomb victims and is ongoing.
In 2013, she received the Japanese Medal of Honor with purple ribbon, the Hasselblad Award (known as the ‘Nobel prize for photography’) in 2014, the Asahi Prize in 2022, and in 2024 the Woman in Motion Award.
