Tokyo was all but a burnt field.

"I'm 89 years and 10 months old."

- What's the key to your health?

"I cook my own food and do the cleaning."

- And to your beauty?

"I simply use toner and milky lotion. That's it."

- When was the happiest moment of your life?

"Well, after the war... even though we lost, the bombings were over, and we could start to enjoy food. That impressed me greatly. Tokyo was all but a burnt field back then, though it is a long time ago now. I'd call this the happiest I felt for Japan.

Another blessing in my life, was raising up my children. Three of them. The experience, I consider it my happiest experience."
