をものともせず

をものともせず is used to describe doing something without being affected by a challenge, obstacle, or adverse condition. It conveys strong determination or stubbornness, and often carries a sense of defiance or perseverance. It can target natural forces, circumstances, or norms, implying that the subject persists regardless of the obstacle. The phrase appears after the object marked by を and can be followed by に or by continuing directly into the main clause. Typical contexts include brave actions in bad weather, ignoring others’ opinions, or continuing efforts despite difficulties.
